1st drafts - a commentary

Now, I understand that a first draft is largely just a beginning...

HOWEVER, when you turn in a first draft it is NOT just an outline. It implies that you have done some research and may even know where you need to do more. It shows that you have attempted to get the story and aren't waiting for me or Ms. Cea to give you the story. It is developed enough so there is something to comment on.

We have been doing this a while now, and more and more of you are turning things in later and later if at all and the first drafts are showing less and less thought. Start off strong and then the revisions will be strong too.
