You can use the insert comment function on word, or you can simply write your comments in red. do the comments in the draft and when you are done with it go onto the next page (add a new page to the writer’s essay) and answer the following questions:

- Does the writer have three monsters (the same three or three different)?
- Is it evident that they have chosen at least one of Cohen’s theses? Is the second paragraph a lit review of the theses they are using from Cohen?
- Does the writer catch your attention in the introduction? Does he or she provide enough background information to give you a sense topic and their attitude on the topic they will talk about?
- Does every body paragraph have a topic sentence naming a specific point about their topic?
- Does each body paragraph have evidence from the text? Does each piece of evidence from the text have explanation of how that text supports their main point of the paragraph?
- Does the author use three outside sources? Are they apparent?
- Does the writer restate the thesis in the concluding paragraph? Is there a final thought? Does it give a feeling of completion to the essay?
- Does the writer use transitions between paragraphs and between pieces of evidence? What transitions can be improved?
- Does the writer demonstrate strong sentence style? Are all of the sentence elements we have learned so far incorporated into the writing? Please underline the sentences that you especially like. Why do you like those sentences?
