This week you will continue adding to your essay. As you add to the essay paper, you must apply the concepts and skills learned during this week by expanding your Short Research Essay. The goal is for you to include the information you now know about using citations, PIE, and ICE for paragraph writing.

Return to your Week 2 assignment (and Week 3 assignment if you have that feedback) and review your instructor’s comments. Note what you need to update. Now that you have the three body paragraphs written, it is time to add the introduction and conclusion. When you submit this assignment, you will be submitting a full draft of your paper.

Note: Your instructor will give you feedback on the Week 4 assignment that you can use to revise and resubmit for the Week 5 final paper. The Week 4 assignment serves as the rough draft for your Week 5 final paper.
