Checklist

  • Does my introduction have a "baited hook?"
  • Is my claim stated clearly in the first paragraph?
  • Do my examples illustrate my claim, or do they confuse?
  • Is my conclusion cohesive and does it call the reader to some sort of decision or action?
  • Is my final draft MLA formatted?
