Final Draft
• Your final draft is due on Monday. Make sure
that it is typed and that it is at least 250 words
long.
• I am grading word choice so really work on
strengthening the words you use. Be precise
and choose words that will appeal to your
audience’s emotions as well as inform them
about the shoe’s features.
