Is there a preview of the arguments which you will make? Does the paper flow logically, that is, do you make your argument in a logical, well-reasoned manner?

The hate you give

1. Does the essay have a thesis/point which is clearly stated?
2. Is there a preview of the arguments which you will make?
3. Does the paper flow logically, that is, do you make your argument in a logical, well-reasoned manner?
4. Are there transitions between points?
5. Do you explain how the incidents and quotations demonstrate your point? It is not enough to show an incident or to quote someone. You must show/explain how that incident or that quote demonstrates the point you are trying to make.
6. Is there a logical summary of the points you make and a conclusion?
7. Do you use good vocabulary, and is the punctuation, spelling, and usage correct?
