(both courses) new revised drafts of your Exhibition Style Papers must be posted by Monday 8am. the new drafts should have

• a bold and sharp thesis that works with the material we've already done
  
• major arguments that support the thesis and are supported by evidence from the course and from your own research
  
• include a lot of material from the course
• be well-edited -- I strongly suggest that you make it more readable (and writable) by chunking arguments with subheadings (like a chapter heading in a book such as "Capitalism and the American Way of Life" or "The Corporate Media Wants Us Bewildered", etc)
• around 2000 words or more now - that's the equivalent of about 8 pages in standard format (double spaced, 12 pt, etc.)
• you don't (yet) need to include Connections, OPV, or Significance- your focus should be an insightful thesis well supported by arguments and evidence.
