Rough Draft Write your rough draft following your research points carefully. Make sure you have an introduction, body, and conclusion. Format the paper according to the instructor's specifications as outlined in the course syllabus or in class. Final Draft Revise your rough draft for grammar, spelling, coherence, and adherence to your thesis and research points. Check the format of the paper again.
Most writers revise the rough draft two or more times.
The source of every idea and quote in your paper must be cited in your bibliography and referenced in the text of the paper.
