Assignment

A. Does the thesis adequately address the prompt? Is it near the end of the Introductory paragraph? If not, how can they fix the problem?

B. Does the writer use two or more hooks in the introduction: Anecdote, Quotation, Profound Question or Statement, the Opposition, Statistic or Fact, Description, Definition, Comparison (simile/met.), or Brief, Engaging Background Information. Are there transitions between hooks and between the last hook and the thesis? How could they improve their introductory hooks?

C. Before, after, or connected to the thesis, does the writer state the preview of points/reasons(what the different supporting paragraphs will be about). Do the writers use parallel structure for this list. What suggestion could you offer here?

D. Does each supporting paragraph have a topic sentence that not only introduces the paragraph topic but also reflects the idea set forth in your thesis statement? This should insure paragraph unity. How could they improve their topic sentence?

E. After the topic sentence, a paragraph will include support for the statement made in the TS. Make sure the writer has transitions between the writer's examples and between supporting paragraphs to ensure coherence. Do the writers have such coherence?

F. Do the supporting paragraphs include personal, observational, and/or hypothetical examples. Also do the supporting paragraphs include textual examples from at least one of our class readings and from one outside source? Make sure there are no block quotations and no paraphrases (summarizing what sources have said).

G. Here is more on "Required Support" that may help you offer more suggestions. Can you see any specific areas where the writer could improve?

H. Did the writer analyze all examples: After each example, quotation, or paraphrase, perform an analysis? Did they probe the example in order to explain how it proves the topic sentence. Did they ask themselves how and why the evidence relates to the topic sentence (and thus the thesis since the thesis is alluded to in your topic sentences). In other words, in order to explain how an example proves a topic sentence, a writer will need to analyze examples such as particular words, images, references, and so forth.

I. How strong are the textual examples?
