FINAL DRAFT: After receiving feedback from peers and your instructor on the rough draft, you will revise your argument a final time. When revising, you should consider all feedback you have received, as well as higher-order and lower-order revision concerns, as you shape your argument into its final form.  Additionally, think carefully about your purpose and audience and how you might argue to persuade readers to change their minds and/or their actions. The final draft should be 7-10 pages in length and should use at least six (6) of your secondary sources as well as at least one (1) primary source.
