It looks like you're preparing to submit your argumentative text portfolio. Here are a few steps to ensure that your final draft is polished and ready for submission:

1. **Review Your Argument**: Make sure your main argument is clear. Do you clearly state the change you are advocating for, and why you believe it would improve education for 14- to 18-year-olds?

2. **Check Structure**: Verify that your text has a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Each paragraph should have a clear topic sentence and support your argument.

3. **Use Evidence**: Ensure that you have included relevant evidence or examples to support your claims. This could include statistics, expert opinions, or real-life examples.

4. **Revise for Clarity and Style**: Read through your text to improve clarity. Are there any sentences that could be worded more clearly? Consider your tone and style. Is it appropriate for your audience?

5. **Edit for Grammar and Mechanics**: Review your text for grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, or punctuation issues. Reading your text out loud can help catch errors you might miss otherwise.

6. **Use Checklists**: Make sure you have completed the Revising and Editing Checklists, confirming that you have addressed all necessary areas.

7. **Rubric Review**: Compare your text against the Writing Argumentative Text Portfolio Rubric to ensure you are meeting all requirements and expectations.

8. **Check Originality**: If your institution uses plagiarism detection tools, use CheckMyWork to confirm that your work is original and free from potential plagiarism issues.

9. **File Format**: Ensure that your file is saved in one of the supported formats (PDF, Word, etc.) before uploading.

10. **Final Review**: Before uploading, do a final read-through to catch any last-minute issues.

Once you’ve completed these steps, go ahead and upload your final draft to the designated Drop Box. Good luck!
