Athens/Sparta Essay Grading

I will assess your Athens/Sparta essay using the following guidelines:

STRUCTURE/ORGANIZATION (10 points) - Do you follow the recommended essay structure? Does your intro provide necessary background info and set up your thesis? Do your paragraphs each provide a key sub-argument (expressed clearly in your topic sentences), include evidence, and conclude by reconnecting back to your thesis? Does your conclusion explain the significance of your argument?

THESIS/ARGUMENT (10 points) - Is your thesis argumentative? Do you prove your argument in your body paragraphs?

EVIDENCE (5 points) - Do you have it? Do you integrate it smoothly into your own writing? Do you cite it properly?

MECHANICS (5 points) - Have you edited this effectively, correcting typos, misspellings, and grammatical errors? Does your writing flow smoothly?
