Coming Up on Your First Draft

On Monday, we will be working on the "curtain-raiser" and "curtain-dropper" of your inquiry paper, that is, writing an opening that hooks the reader and a closing that leaves the reader provoked, inspired, or persuaded. To get the most out of this session, you should be close to having a first draft of your paper written by that time. (Remember: your first draft--including curtain-raiser and curtain-dropper--is due on Wednesday.)
