The draft should be a polished essay (1,000 words, double-spaced). It should be a Word document, not a PDF. It should include a title, an introduction, a thesis statement, several body paragraphs, a conclusion and citations. Please use Times New Roman 12. Include page numbers and the word count at the end of the essay think about the sections that you find especially meaningful, and that you would like to develop further.
Prepare questions about the elements of the essay you find challenging: it could be stitching moves, topic sentences, the thesis statement… Preparation allows you to maximize this meeting’s benefits. That being said, think of this draft as an opportunity to explore your topic and experiment with new ideas. Take risks, make arguments that your reader might challenge, or that you might challenge when you write your final draft.
