a brief note on conclusions: http://www.writing.ucsb.edu/faculty/donelan/concl.html

1. Review this citation guide from the librarian Sandy Killian: Citation Guide and this one: Citation Helper

2. Use the Quotation/Documentation Checklist to review your group members sections. 

How long is the paper?  (Is at least 5 pages double-spaced, not including the Works Cited Page? Have you used at least 6 solid sources in your paper as a whole?)

INSERT your Works Cited Page in the last page of your google doc (when you are finished).  Be sure to uncheck/delete (from the final google doc)  any sources that you didn't end up using. 

3.  NOW EDIT:  

• Add SENTENCE PATTERNS to improve the impact of the writing:
• a semicolon (SP #1)
• a colon (SP #3 and SP # 10)
• a periodic sentence (SP # 8)
•  asyndeton or polysyndeton (#4 and #5)
• repeating a key term (anaphora) (#9 and 9A)
• a short, simple sentence for emphasis in your intro and/or conclusion paragraph

• Read your own section out loud to the group, stopping to fix (or suggest) grammatical errors.
