In addition this check list is what am expecting:
Thesis
· Your thesis must list the topic and make a claim. A claim (an argument) must be arguable. If you can’t argue an opposite
or alternate to it, then your thesis is not a thesis.
· Everything in the paper answers to (ties back to) the thesis.

Paragraph Construction
General Facts about Paragraphs
· set of related sentences
· begin, end with important information
· serve as mini-essay within larger essay
· a paragraph will “make sense” as a whole; words, sentences related

Purpose of body paragraphs
· To introduce one of the main points supporting your thesis and to develop that point with examples, facts, and other supporting
evidence
· change in paragraphs indicate to reader that new idea is coming
· give the reader a rest; says to reader, “Have you got that? If so, I’ll go on.”
Unified
· Unified means paragraph has general idea and discusses ONLY that idea
· Readers have learned to expect a paragraph to contain this main idea
(Remember looking for main idea in grade school?)
· Topic Sentence
– acts as a mini-thesis
– a topic sentence usually works best at the beginning of a paragraph but can, at times, work at the end.
– For the kind of essays we’ll be writing, it works best at the paragraph’s beginning.
– if you look at a paragraph (yours or someone else’s and you can’t find the topic sentence easily, then something is wrong.
· Relate all other sentences to the paragraph’s main idea (topic sentence)
· Unified means that you avoid digression – If everything in your whole paper must answer to (tie back to) the thesis, then everything
in your paragraph must answer to the topic sentence.
· A paragraph that holds together is unified.
· To check to see that your paragraphs are unified, ask yourself these two questions.
Is there a main idea and do all the sentences relate to it?

 

Coherent
· Checking for coherence asks if the paragraph follows a logical order that the reader can see.
· A paragraph is coherent if the reader can see how it holds together.
· A coherent paragraph places information in the proper sequence.
· To achieve paragraph coherence: organize effectively
· There are many tried and true ways to organize a paragraph’s info in a logical manner – general to specific, specific to general.
The main thing is that the writer knows and the reader can see an organizational strategy – a plan within the paragraph.
· To make sure that your paragraphs are coherent, ask yourself this question. Can the reader easily see that the paragraph is unified?
