Please read the three attached drafts. For each draft, please write a one-page single-spaced cover letter addressed to each author. In each letter, please address the following issues:

1. In your own words, describe the drafts motivating problem or question; the argument; and the evidence used to support the argument. If one of these elements are missing, please note it.

2. Using our writing lexicon, describe two aspects of the draft that you believe are strong.

3. Likewise, using our writing lexicon, describe a few aspects of the draft that need improvement or development.

When finished with your cover letters, preferably before class, please email me all three.  I will then collect them and send them as a packet to each author.
