Prepare
As you prepare to write your second discussion, take a few moments to do the following:
1. Review the Ashford Writing Center (AWC) articles:
a. Avoiding Plagiarism
b. Essay Structure
c. Writing Reviser Tool
d. APA References List.
2. Review the grading rubric for this discussion.
Reflect
Before drafting your initial post, take time to reflect on your rough draft. Is the claim in your thesis statement fully developed and supported throughout your essay? Do your topic sentences support your thesis statement? Have you supported your claims with evidence? Will you be submitting your draft to the Ashford Writing Center for review?
Write
Share your essay rough draft by attaching it to your post as a Microsoft Word document. Include an APA-formatted references list for the sources used in your essay. In 200 to 300 words, identify and explain the following:
1. Describe and explain your review process. How did you review your rough draft for logical fallacies, citation errors, and potential plagiarism (e.g., Turnitin)?
2. Discuss any specific questions you have regarding your essay structure.
