This is a section for Final Draft Essays... rough draft essays are covered in the Test Taking Strategies for All Students page.

Critical to read BEFORE you get to reading Primary Source (documents written when the subject/event happened) and Secondary Source (documents written after an subject/event has passed, textbooks, etc.)

Citing your sources is critical from the beginning of a research essay. There are others, but NoodleTools is an excellent resource for Bibliographies, Works Cited pages, Annotations, etc.
