Read the middle third (about pages 100-200).
The outline originally had this listed for Oct 2, but I've delayed it so you can have some extra time to work on it.

Paper 2 is a 6-8 page research paper. (See my online handout Short Research Papers.)

The presubmission report is not a rough draft of your paper.  Think of it as a proposal.  Many students report that, once they get the presubmission approved, the paper almost writes itself. 

When you submit it, you're giving me the opportunity to assess your preparation skills, before you launch into the business of connecting all the dots and shaping a whole essay.
The word "essay" comes from a French word that means "attempt."
The secret is to make more a greater percentage of of your intellectual discoveries before you commit to churning out the sentences and crafting the paragraphs. (You may still have a last-minute revelation, since the essay is our laboratory, and we won't know how solid we've made our case until we actually put it to the test.)

Upload to the Turnitin.com slot a single MS-Word document (about 3 pages) that contains the following sections.
