Please check the comments on my work, take care while you work on it. 1. Writing is choppy and rough. 2. No outline and hence no identifiable logical order or connection between ideas, though by connecting sentences together, the writer seems to be trying to do so. 3. No conclusion – the writing just drifts along and then stops. Same as D, but no effort is made by the writer to even write in meaningful individual sentences. Also sentences don’t connect with one another. Or the entire effort revolves around one vague idea or anecdote.

1. Same as A, but thesis needs sharpening and hence does not guide the outline as clearly. 2. Opening leads into thesis but is abstract. 3. Most of the ideas and examples in the outline develop and support the thesis and reflect learning and knowledge from the course. One idea needs tightening. 4. Transitions connect most ideas with the thesis. 5. Most ideas and examples follow in a logical order and are connected to each other bringing some unity and coherence. 6. The conclusion summarizes main points, but needs polish. 1. Paper is disorganized because though there is an outline, it mixes up ideas and thoughts about the novel. Unity and coherence are lost. 2. Paper tries to open with a thesis, but it is fuzzy and hence does not direct the development of thought. 3. Transitions connect some ideas to the thesis. At least one example is inserted, but is sketchy. 4. There are occasional lapses in logical order and connection of ideas. 5. Short conclusion that does not really tie things together.

Organized Outline that Leads to Unity and Coherence (40%) 1. Paper is organized around a unified outline that develops the thesis. 2. Opening “grabs attention” and leads into thesis. 3. Thesis anticipates the key points in the paper. 4. In its entirety, the paper reflects the requirements of the assignment as outlined in Week 03. 5. Ideas and examples develop out of thesis bringing coherence (ideas follow a logical order and are connected to each other). Ideas also reflect reading and discussions acquired in the course. 6. Transitions clearly show relationship between points studied and thesis 7. Conclusion echoes or summarizes the thesis and leaves the intended reader satisfied.
