In my body, did I

clearly organize my paragraphs?

use transitional sentences between paragraphs?

provide enough relevant evidence?

explain the significance of the quotations I chose?

bring my argument to a close?

offer a new perspective on my argument?

Overall, did I

write with clarity and conciseness?
