The moduli space of translation surfaces is stratified by the orders of the zeros of Abelian differentials. We classify GL^+(2,R) orbit closures in the strata of translation surfaces in genus 3 with at most two zeros, with the property that they have rank 2 (in the sense of Alex Wright).   This is joint work with Duc-Manh Nguyen and Alex Wright.
