Safe
Hey, you guys. Stay safe, ok?
I haven't started reading your essays yet, meant to get to them today (busy, busy traveling weekend, sorry!), but have a low-pressure migraine happening. Will get to them as soon as I can.
But mostly I want you all to come out on the other side of this safely. Take care!

Essay 1 Personal Narrative Evaluation Sheet
Hi, Class! Here's the evaluation sheet (how I'll be grading) for essay 1! Let me know if you have questions:
Eng 12 Evaluation Essay 1 Personal Narrative
Essayist:__________________________
• Title: Does your title forecast the issue or problem your essay examines and make readers want to read on?
o Exceptional__ _____ Proficient__ X ______ Needs Work__ ____
• Opening move: Describes the problem, why it is worth pursuing, why it is problematic, why the writer, as the investigator, is interested in it; in other words, it hooks the reader. Is this a stylized intro?
o Exceptional___ ____ Proficient__ X _____ Needs Work ____
Body Paragraphs:
• Organized: Is it evident that this paper was planned, is there an order to this narrative? Is the organization clear? Can the reader follow the logic of the essay?
o Exceptional__ X _____ Proficient__ _____ Needs Work__ ____
Flow: Are there logical transitions? Does the author provide enough transitions to help the reader see how points are connected? Is the does the paper read smoothly, or is it jumpy to the reader?
o Exceptional_______ Proficient__ X _____ Needs Work__ ____
Style: Is there a sense of voice in this writing? Is there a personality behind the writer, or, does this read like textbook writing?
o Exceptional_______ Proficient__ X _____ Needs Work__ ____
• Detail: Are there plenty of level 1 details to engage the reader?
o Exceptional___ ____ Proficient__ X _____ Needs Work__ ____
• The author's writing demonstrates careful editing with attention to stylistic choices such as use of strong verbs, use of attributive tags, strategic use of punctuation and unified paragraphs. Writer uses logos, pathos, and ethos to give their writing depth.
o Exceptional_______ Proficient___ X _____ Needs Work_ __
Proofreading: The essay demonstrates careful proofreading and does not contain serious errors in spelling or punctuation (in particular, comma splice errors, sentence fragments, misused semicolons or colons). Awkward phrasing also falls into this category.
o Exceptional_______ Proficient__ X ___ Needs Work _
Closing is satisfying to reader, this conclusion must, above all, NOT summarize the essay. It must be stylized, and an appropriate style of conclusion.
o Exceptional___ ____ Proficient____ X ____ Needs Work__ ____
MLA
