Summary: We had another writing workshop day where we reviewed writing strategies to help you finish your second draft. There was a focus on APA in-text citations, citing sources, vocabulary, brevity, and exploring the use of more descriptive sentences. Please wait for your instructor to give you feedback on your homework first. If you do not get your paper soon, please do a Write & Improve essay.
