- Claim needs to be compelling (work on synthesis of ideas rather then listing arguments)
- Credible detailed evidence (all evidence must have a citation)
- Analysis should explain HOW the evidence supports arguments/thesis
- Transition between paragraphs with ideas rather then transitional words
- Conclusion needs to synthesize arguments into larger 'So what?'. Call to action should provide a solution to the problem.
- MLA (in-text and works cited page)
