• Review Writing Assignment Final Draft (or Review Essay) (Due Sunday by 11:59 pm AZ Time) 

For those who submitted your first draft of the Review Essay, use the following checklist to prepare:

1. After your first draft essay has been assigned a grade by the instructor, go to the "Gradebook" and locate your first draft to review the comments section of that assignment. Focus on the following:

• Watch the video demo example that goes over a successful Review Essay. This link is located in the first purple bubble in your first draft Review Essay’s LopesWrite (Similarity Score) Report, in the DQ forums, and/or by clicking the following link below: https://www.loom.com/share/b0fef9da7aef4885b5efb527743bdac5
• Visit my written feedback on your LopesWrite (Similarity Score) report found in the Halo gradebook. Click each arrow in the purple bubble on the right to review each of my comments from top to bottom. To learn more, follow the instructions listed below: View Instructor Feedback Halo Gradebook_ LopesWrite Report.docx
• Review your classmate's peer review (if one is available). If someone completed a peer review of your essay, you may request a copy from them in the Halo Messages. If you did not get one from a classmate, you can bypass this step. 
  **Keep in mind your peer reviewer is a learner also; therefore, you do not need to implement everything recommended by him or her.

• Lastly, revise your first draft Review Essay according to the instructor's recommendations. Afterward, submit your essay through LopesWrite in the essay assignment link. After your score is generated and it’s below 20%, click the final submit button.

If you did not submit the first draft Review Essay during Topic 4 (Week 4), use the following checklist to help you write your best final draft:

1. Follow the updated instructions for Topic 4's first draft @ https://pettyeng105.weebly.com/review-essay-instructions.html
2. The essay requires that you have 750-1000 words (not including the references page), and 5 paragraphs (1 intro, 3 body paragraphs, and 1 conclusion). It requires using a 3rd-person narrative and the APA 7th, Ed. Style Format Template.
3. Choose a website from the list located in the Acknowledgment from Topic 1 DQ1 and/or in my post in Topic 4 DQ1 this week. Please DO NOT use the CDC that pertains to ADHD, the FBI that pertains to Cyber Crime, or the Mayo Clinic which is the example from our eBook.
4. Focus on critiquing and evaluating whether you thought that your chosen website meets or does not meet your 3 chosen criteria of the 5 criteria mentioned in the discussion forums.
5. Source requirements are two web pages from the same website. For example, if I were evaluating CHADD, I might choose the Treatment webpage and Symptoms webpage as my two sources.
