Writing Clarity
10 pts.
Correct sentences and grammar as part of effective expression;
word choice and sentence style
The writing is somewhat clear; however, there are quite a few sentence fragments and spelling errors.
8
Organization & Coherence
10
unified and �organic� beginning middle and end;
appropriate paragraph style and length
effective transitions, use of key words and phrases, clear and cohesive integration of quotations and any second source material
The paper is organized, but the single body paragraph is too long. It would have been ideal to create two body paragraphs.
7
Argument
15
Cohesive structure of thesis statement and topic sentences (correctly placed and clearly stated) directly affects argumentation
sound logic & other aspects of persuasive discourse (avoids bias, slanted language, unfounded claims, bias)
displays logos, ethos, pathos)
analysis or evaluation rather than summary or simple narration
The argument is clear, but is not clearly supported. Your body paragraph is unfortunately almost entirely summary instead of reasons for why you believe in football.
13
Support
10
Representative, sufficient, specific, and relevant supporting details
makes ample use of text and/or secondary sources to support points
The support used (the football game) is a good one, but you need to do more than just summarize the events – explain why exactly this game made you believe in the power of football. Do not let your examples/quotes speak for themselves.
7
Voice & Tone
5
Tone (including level of diction) is appropriate to subject
Writer�s voice is present throughout
Awareness of audience is apparent
