At the top level, you want to think about content and organization (what you are saying and how your are saying it).
- Content
- pointed title defines your purpose
- clear thesis in the introduction
- takes a position, arguing/persuading the reader towards your goal
- Organization
- Each paragraph has a coherent central idea;
- each links with those before and after through appropriate transitional phrases or sentences
- Sources
- Your source should be credited (with an author named or listed in parentheses); direct language in “quotation marks” etc.
- but most important is that you integrate this source well, weaving it into the fabric of your argument (conceptually and syntactically).
