WAIT! You have read, highlighted, sorted and sifted the information from your resources. You have drafted a thesis statement, and have organized an outline. You have drafted an introductory paragraph that lets a reader know what your paper is about, and a concluding paragraph that sums up the information and has an effective conclusion. You have successfully written your first draft, better known as a "rough draft." This whole process is revision. Kind of like tasting a homemade stew to see if you need more salt or herbs to improve the final product.
REVISE: If you have planned ahead and organized your time, you may still have a couple of days before this project needs to be turned in. Take a day and relax, "forget about it!" and clear your head. Come back and read your paper with fresh eyes, and tweak your writing a bit more. Have the Writing Center staff give your project a final review.
