MY GREAT EXPECTATIONS FOR YOUR ARGUMENTATIVE PAPER

Students,

As you complete your argumentative papers this week, keep in mind how you will be graded.

Content: 100 points available (20 points each)
  • Interesting/readability
  • Organized/good flow
  • Originality
  • Well-defined thesis
  • Points clearly made
Technical: 100 points available (Spelling--31, Presentation--9, Vocabulary, Grammar, and Sentence structure--20 each)

Please use the spell check feature on your computer! How easy is that?


Proofread your papers--out loud!! Don't rush through, but really read it to get a feel for it. If your paper is not exciting enough to hold your attention for the time it would take to read back over it, imagine how I am going to feel reading it! Yes, just like the young man here. Zzzzz.......

Ahem. You wrote "please the spell check on your computer." I think that counts as a spelling error. See you in class!
