WRITING ACTIVITY 4
Final Draft
Due Week 9 and worth 300 points
Instructions:
Your final draft should reflect the work you have done to develop your ideas, identify
counter perspectives, gather credible research, and draft your essay. You will use
feedback from your instructor to review, revise, and edit your draft to ensure that you
submit your best work.
To ensure your final draft is different from your rough draft, follow the steps below.
Step 1
Revision
Using your instructor’s feedback as a guide, remove content that does not support
your points, and add content where you need more support or where your rough draft
was incomplete. Refine all of your content to improve clarity, idea development, flow,
and the overall persuasiveness of your communication. Chapters 8 and 9 of your
Webtext will provide guidance to help ensure you submit your best work.

Step 2
Editing
After you finish your content, review your paper to make sure your sentences are clear
and error free. Pay attention to grammar, mechanics, punctuation, and formatting.
You do not want to distract your audience or negatively impact your credibility with
small mistakes. Chapter 9 will provide you with guidance to help you avoid these
mistakes.
