1. Content: analyze one book. Make a persuasive presentation of your ideas. Overall content is original, sophisticated and insightful. The paper analyzes the topic thoroughly; no grammatical errors, no inaccurate citations or inaccurate paraphrasing from the readings.
2. Organization: paper develops an argument or thesis statement rather than merely listing evidence; body paragraphs of the essay are clearly linked to the thesis and follow logically from it; conclusion considers the ramifications of the thesis (or answer the question, “so what?”).
3. Evidence: argument is convincingly supported by evidence such as quotations from the assigned reading texts; quotes are integrated into the paper using parenthetical citation (identify author’s last name, and cite page of the text); quotes are followed by a thorough analysis that shows how they are evidence.
