Expectations:
Introduction should have a good lead and strong thesis.
Draft is on legal pad, skipping lines.
It should be conferenced with a parent for content, not grammar, and then revisions should be completed.
Ratiocination for lead type, CX sentences, IWABing and personal pronouns should be completed before the final copy.
Final copy is on wide ruled loose leaf, front side only in pen and in cursive. It should be neatly edited before it gets to me.
