Drawing on the Week 5 Topic Selection Prewriting activity and last week’s draft, you are now required to submit your final, polished Commentary essay. At the end of the essay, after your references page, please be sure to submit a short Postscript to reflect upon the peer review process and how it contributed to the completion of your polished essay. Be sure to review this week’s lecture for tips to guide you through the revision process and for a checklist of assignment requirements. Also review the Week 87 Final Commentary Rubric in Doc Sharing for additional guidance.
The Final Commentary essay should include:
five full body pages, plus an APA title page and references page, written in Microsoft Word 2010 (.docx);
an additional Postscript,* to be written as an additional page after the references page addressing the prompts listed below
APA-formatted in-text citations;
a minimum of three credible sources;
a personal angle that takes a set position on a topic that is currently in the news; and
12-point font and APA-formatting for margins, title page, running heads, and page numbers. (Please be sure to review the tutorial on formatting an APA paper and title page.)
*Postscript addition: On the page immediately following your references page, please write 2-3 paragraphs reflecting on the peer review process and the impact it had on your final draft. Your reflection should address the following considerations:
Did you incorporate changes into your final essay based on your peers’ feedback? If so, please describe the types of changes you made and why you made them. If you did not incorporate changes, please explain why.
Did reviewing the work of your classmates help you to understand other points of view? Please explain how or why.
Did reviewing the work of your classmates provide you with additional writing strategies? Please explain how or why..
