Student Name I brought out the aspects of the argument that were most significant to my audience and to my overall purpose(s). I incorporated trustworthy and significant sources and explained if and when a source seemed problematic. I analyzed the relevance of the reasons and evidence for my claims as well as for the counterclaim(s) and helped the reader understand what each position is saying. I made sure all of my analysis led my readers to follow my line of argument. I intended to affect my reader in particular ways- to make the reader think, realize, or feel a particular way- and I chose language to do that. I consistently used comparisons, analogies, vivid examples, anecdotes, or other rhetorical devices to help readers follow my thinking and grasp the meaning and significance of a point or a piece of evidence. I varied my tone to match the different purposes of different sections of my argument. I spelled technical vocabulary and literary vocabulary accurately. I spelled materials in citations according to sources, and spelled citations accurately. I used different sentence structures to achieve different purposes throughout my argument. I used verb tenses that shift when needed, deciding between active and passive voice where appropriate. I used internal punctuation effectively, including the use of ellipses to accurately insert excerpts from sources.
