have a correct heading and an interesting title (centered and capitalized correctly).
I have a hook that engages my reader’s attention.
I have begun the conversation about the essay and included the essential information, including “Title” (year) by author’s full name.
I have finished my intro with a concrete, defensible thesis that connects my position to the appeals (essay map).
Each body paragraph has a clear topic sentence that identifies the appeal being explored.
Each body paragraph has logical development, including 2-3 quotes (NO quote bombs) correctly cited with good connective tissue explaining to the reader how the evidence is linked to my position.
Each body paragraph has a wrap up that ties the proof in the paragraph to the central idea.
The conclusion is worthy of the essay. It reminds the reader why this topic is important—how it has relevance today.
I have checked all quotes and paraphrases and made sure that I have used parenthetical citation for EVERY outside source. These sources are listed alphabetically and in MLA format on my Works Cited page, including at least ONE outside source—plus the primary source (the story info).
I have re-read my essay aloud to two other people, listening for clarity, flow, and correctness. I have looked at my previous essays for help with grammar weaknesses and made corrections
