Craft your text and bring it all together

You'll be writing and re-writing ideas, notes, and drafts throughoutyour entire research process; writing is a form of thinking. Crafting the final text that you'll submit requires you to step back and look at yourdraft texts and your entire project from a reader's perspective.
