Your presubmission report should be about three pages long. The more work you put into this, the more helpful I can be. The idea is that I am asking you to show me all the ingredients you plan to put into your paper. While I do want to see a fully fleshed-out thesis paragraph, I'm not asking for all the transitions and connective material -- just the bare ideas and the quotes from your sources (primary and secondary) that you plan to use in order to develop your argument.

As your paper develops, feel free to add, remove, or completely change any of the elements you have included in this presubmission report.
