Exemplar first draft with reflection based notes - Let Hollywood Die!
Note:
This is an example of the sort of thing that tends to get handed in as a
"bad" first draft. This is lacking several features of a 'good first
draft': word count/citation of sources within the text/bibliography as
proof of research.
If you want decent feedback, it is important that you go beyond this!
Take
the time to reflect on your progress and make improvements before
submitting your piece to your teacher. Also, and it goes without saying,
please proof-read your work. If it doesn't make sense to you, it won't
make sense to your reader.
