INTRODUCTION Does the introduction identify:  title of piece  full name of author  genre of piece  summary of main idea of essay  summary of three to five supporting ideas relating to the main idea How does the introduction read? Smooth? A little choppy? Offer the writer a comment on what you think the introduction does well and where the introduction needs a little more work. Please be specific. BODY How many body paragraphs does the writer have? Please list the supporting points discussed in each paragraph:

Which paragraph strikes you as the most focused, with a clear controlling idea presented in a leading sentence and with strong supporting material that stays focused on that controlling idea? Which paragraph strikes you as needing more focus? For example, do you notice a paragraph that does not seem to have a clear topic sentence, or a paragraph that seems to drift away from what seems to be the controlling idea, or a paragraph that has too many competing ideas? Offer the writer a suggestion for strengthening that paragraph. Please review the draft for the following issues of style, and note to the writer where she or he may need to go back and review (indicate any points on the draft itself):  Author is referred to by last name after initial introduction  Summary is written in the present tense (for example, “Chorost relates his experiences with…” not “Chorost related his experiences with…”)  Summary presents material in an objective manner (avoids using value-laden language such as, “This extremely entertaining essay…” or “Chorost’s wonderfully descriptive language…”) Does the draft follow these formatting conventions?  Typed (12 point type, Times New Roman)  Double-spaced  One-inch margins  Indented paragraphs (6 – 8 spaces)  No extra lines between paragraphs
