The checklist below might be useful in making sure your essay is accomplishing its goals:
Essay Focus:
Is the topic narrow enough to address in an essay of this length? Does the essay make an arguable claim about this topic? Do all parts of the essay work to support this claim?
Paragraph Focus:
Do the examples in each paragraph work together to support an overall point about the paragraph’s topic?
Specific Examples:
Does the essay use suitably precise language, rather than generalizations, to support its claims?
Mechanics/Grammar/Punctuation/etc.:
Is the essay formatted according to the stated guidelines? Has it been carefully proofread. Are there any sentence-level errors of any type we’ve discussed in class?
