ࡱ> 352 bjbjWW .$== %,,8,."444_aaaaaa$44p44__4[x.5.K0RcRR#1 =-jR, L:  QUESTIONS TO ASK OF AN EARLY DRAFT: What is the writer's main point (or does the writer have more than one)? Does this main point respond to a significant question or problem? (or does it effectively respond to a particular assignment?) Is the writer's main point interesting, surprising, illuminating? Is the main point easy to locate, or hidden somewhere in the body of the essay? Does everything in the draft support the main point? Is there enough specific information to convince readers of the writer's argument? Is the information in the draft correct? Are there points in the draft where you would like to hear more about a topic or an example? Are there points in the draft where you would like to hear less about a topic or an example? Does the draft have an individual voice that makes you want to keep reading? Does the draft appropriately address its target audience? What do you think would improve this draft? QUESTIONS TO ASK OF A MID-STAGE DRAFT: Is the draft's title intriguing and informative? Is the draft's opening paragraph compelling? Does it clearly lay out the question to be answered, why it is important, and what thesis will be argued in response to it? Is the writer's argument easy to follow, or do you get lost in places? Is it clear why each paragraph follows from the previous one and leads to the next one? Are all of the paragraphs adequately developed, or are some of them "paragraph fragments"? Does the information inside each paragraph belong together, and is it presented in an effective order? (remember Donald Murray's easy 2-3-1 rule: the greatest point of emphasis comes at the end of the paragraph, next greatest in the opening, least greatest in the middle) Is the writer's argument convincing? What would make it more so? Has the writer included enough specific examples to make his or her case, and where would more support be helpful? Has the writer considered counter-arguments and responded effectively to these? Has the writer effectively incorporated source materials? (for example, quoting or paraphrasing where needed and commenting upon what is quoted) Are there places where information seems out of place? How might the material be reordered? Are there parts of the paper that could be cut? Are there parts of the paper that you'd like to see expanded? Is the ending of the paper memorable? Does it enhance and complicate our sense of the writer's initial thesis, or simply repeat it? QUESTIONS TO ASK OF A LATE STAGE DRAFT: Is the paper easy to read and to understand? Is the paper's tone appropriate to its task and its audience? Are the sentences grammatical? (If not, what are the main places where something becomes unclear or awkward? See if you can discern a pattern of grammatical problems for the writer to focus on.) Are there rewordings you can suggest where sentences are not clear? Are the commas, semicolons, periods and apostrophes in the right places? Is the writing lively and interesting to read? Are most of the verbs active and many of the nouns concrete? Are the word choices precise and specific? Are there sentences that can be cut down (or cut out)? Are words spelled correctly? Are quotations worked gracefully (and grammatically) into sentences and paragraphs? Are sources documented according to designated guidelines? Is the paper formatted correctly? (font, indentations, pagination, etc.)     PAGE  PAGE 1 '(Go5   k l  d e 8bzԶ h6h0Jjh6h0JUh8jh8UhB/ah4%h6hhO]h&@hOh{$hHh3hRhFh`h'Gh+!D&'(qr5 6   : ; D E     d e e jk89Z[deIJ01z{|}~h]hgdR &`#$gd<hB/ah8h6h h6h0Jjh6h0JUh4Z0JmHnHu,1h/ =!"#$% ^ 666666666vvvvvvvvv666666>6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666hH6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666662 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~_HmH nH sH tH @`@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA`D Default Paragraph FontRiR  Table Normal4 l4a (k (No List 4 @4 RFooter  !.)@.
