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?
