The Rough Draft
Case Study Scenario:

Project REQUIREMENTS: 
Complete the following steps:
Step 1: Introduction – Include an attention getting title. Introduce the social issue you have selected. Explain to your audience why this issue is important and why they should be interested. What are the benefits of service learning in effecting positive change for this issue? Conclude your introduction with your thesis statement. Use the thesis statement generator to develop your statement. This statement is your recommendation of why students should or should not conduct service learning at the organization. Use at least one peer-reviewed article to support your claims in this section. Citation tutorial. 
Step 2: Body - Include the following sections from your previous research to include any changes you made due to instructor feedback: Community Organization, Community Partnerships, Cross-Cultural Challenges, Humanitarian Considerations, Volunteers, Roadblocks, Future Vision, Challenges, and Improvements. 
Step 3: Conclusion - Restate your thesis. This means that you say about the same thing as you did in your thesis, but you say it differently. After stating your thesis, restate the topics from each of your body sections and emphasize what is important for your audience to remember. End your conclusion with a call to action that illustrates what your audience should do with the information you presented.
Step 4: References – On a separate reference page, list all the references you have cited in your paper to support your claims.
