December 1

Workshop:

State the focus of the essay

Who is the audience?

Does this essay acknowledge the assumptions/beliefs held by the audience?

Does the introduction do a good job setting up the focus for the chosen audience? Any suggestions?

Organization: state the point of each paragraph and how it connects to /develops the focus

does the writer identify the position they will argue against –BEFORE – s/he begins her/his discussion/argument?
does the writer provide necessary background information BEFORE beginning the discussion?
Development: need any more information? any material that is unnecessary?

Does the conclusion draw the essay to a close?


Plan for for revision: what do you need to work on to strengthen your essay?

What do you need to change/re-word/substitute?

What do you need to add?

What do you need to delete?

What do you need to re-organize?
