Discussion Post
• Is the topic clearly related to education?
• Is your introductory paragraph interesting and relevant? (How can this be made even better?)
• Is there a clear thesis at the end of the intro paragraph? (Is it argumentative or just factual? How can it be improved?)
• Is there a clear focus in the topic sentence of the main body paragraph? (If so, how can it be improved further? If not, what do you suggest the focus should be?)
• Does each paragraph support the focus of the topic sentence (paragraph unity)? (Explain how this can be improved throughout the paper)
• Is solid evidence used to support the thesis? (minimum of 5 sources listed in the Works Cited, which means 5 in-text references in the body of the paper. Are there areas where the paper could use more evidentiary support?)
• Is MLA formatting followed? (What are the mistakes, and how can they be fixed?)
• Are grammar and mechanics mistakes minimal? (What are the mistakes, and how can they be fixed?)
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
