The class discussed common mistakes found in the grading of Critical Analysis essays:

by last name only from that point forward in the writing
d. Formal Language – No I, me, my, etc. No contractions
e. Amount of Evidence – try to have a minimum of three pieces of evidence for each point in your
essay
f. Incorporating Quotes – any quotes used should flow into your writing and sound as if you wrote
it yourself
g. Numbers – spell out numbers under 20 and all numbers at the beginning of a sentence
h. Titles – Shorter works are punctuated in quotes, Longer works are underlined or italicized
i. In Chapter or On page number – use parenthetical reference instead
2. Be sure that the people you turned in peer reviews for show them to Ms. H – so that you are sure you get
credit. They are currently entered as zeros. It is your responsibility to see that they are turned in.
