Ideas and Development
 The thesis statement is at the end of the first
paragraph of the essay.
 The thesis statement addresses the video.
Organization
 Appropriate paragraph breaks
 Flow: transitions, topic sentences, paragraphs stay on
topic
 Transitions make it clear how the section or
paragraph will develop the thesis.
 Introduction that leads directly to the body of the
essay and orients the reader
 Conclusion that gives a sense of completeness and
also a sense of direction
Language Use
 Do not workshop for grammar and mechanics.
 If you want, you can give some help with usage. In
general, you want to use words in a way that would
be accepted by native speakers of US English.
