To Do

1. Work through your essay draft at least one more time, this time focusing on lower-order concerns.  Follow the proofreading advice offered in this section.
2. Consider all of the final touches:
   • subject-verb agreement
   • verb tense consistency
   • end-of-sentence punctuation (periods, exclamation marks, question marks)
   • internal punctuation (commas, colons, semicolons, apostrophes)
   • spelling
   • capital letters
   • page formatting
3. Prepare the final draft of your essay, making the strongest version of your work possible.
