Prepare

As you prepare to write your   second discussion for this week, take a few moments to do the following:

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 (due Thursday, Day 3)

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: 

• Describe and explain your        review process. How did you review your rough draft for logical        fallacies, citation errors, and potential plagiarism (e.g., Turnitin)?
• Discuss any specific        questions you have regarding your essay structure.

Respond to Peers

In 125 to 200 words each, complete   a peer review of at least two of your classmates’ rough drafts. To help   ensure that all of your classmates receive feedback, if possible, review at   least one draft that has not yet been reviewed. Please analyze and discuss   the following:

• Thesis statement
• Topic sentences and body        paragraphs
• Research integration
• Fallacies (e.g., review of        logic)
• Conclusion
• Questions and concerns regarding        the development of the essay

Provide your classmates with   thorough feedback for improvement. Substantiate your ideas and suggestions   with specific examples from your classmates’ rough drafts and the assigned   reading materials.
