SOME TIPS

Structure

1. Part One -- Introduction (one or two paragraphs)

General attention-getting opening on the subject.

Narrow ideas/first mention of the ideas of the essay (topic sentences in the body)

Focused thesis statement: exactly what the essay will prove in relation to the requirements of the prompt.

2. Part Two -- Main Body

Topic sentence focusing idea for this paragraph.

Discussion of the ideas of the topic

Quotes and/or specific examples proving the paragraph topic.

Analysis of the ideas of this paragraph and connection to how this paragraph proves the thesis in the intro.

Transition sentence that concludes this paragraphs ideas and moves into the ideas discussed in the next paragraph.

3. Part Three -- Conclusion

Restate the thesis (look at intro)

Summarize the topics in your body paragraphs (look at topic sentences)

Graceful general exiting statement (mirrors the intro opening statement)

Language & Sentence Structure

1. Voice and tone are academic (no swearing, slang, or arguing with the task).

2. Point of view is 3rd person unless the prompt specifically asks for the writers 1st person agreement/disagreement, opinion, experience, or observation.

3. Vocabulary is graceful, articulate, and accurate; the writer uses language to elevate the discussion and not distract from it (no word choice errors).

4. Sentence structure is varied and controlled (no run-ons, fragments, or awkward sentence structure that may impede the readers comprehension of the argument).

Page Limit

Maximum four pages

Grammar & Mechanics

1. No spelling errors OR words spelled correctly but used incorrectly (for example college vs. collage).

2. No subject/verb agreement errors (For example, The women wants her book now.)

3. No plural/possessive noun errors (For example, The countrys are all in agreement.)

4. Titles are underlined or in quotation marks (underlined = longer complete works: books, plays, magazine, newspapers; quotation marks = short works: short stories, poems, articles, etc.).

5. Correctly formatted manuscript using APA guidelines (including parenthetical citations and works cited pages).

6. Proofread and correct in the final draft!
