Sharpen Your Essay-Writing Skills
 
  • Does your essay speak to the question?
  • Is a clear topic statement present? Write an introductory paragraph if the essay is to be an extended one.
  • Are specific facts and examples developed in the body to substantiate the topic?
  • Are transitions used to show thought relationships?
  • Is a clear, concluding statement (or paragraph for an extended essay) present and consistent with the topic?
  • Is your handwriting legible?
