Purpose
This assignment provides an early feedback opportunity for one of the two large products required in this course.  The rationale for this assignment and full explanation for each required component are given in the Readling & Literacy Project (R&L) description. Your first step in completing this Draft should be to read the R&L description thoroughly.

In this exercise, you will work as a group to create (in whole or in part) several key elements needed for the big Project.  Full credit is given for complete assignments, along with qualitative formative feedback.  We expect you to apply this feedback in your completed Project.  The table below provides the number of the matching element from the full project description, along with an expectation statement.  This table is for your information; you will not be graded on these expectations yet. The grading checklist itself is provided last.
