Crucible Writing Assignment:
Student has created a clear and subtle thesis that explores a literary element/ device (theme, style, motif, symbolism, characterization). Our focus for this assignment is characterization, although you could include some other ideas.
Paper has been organized with clear topic sentences and transitions
Argument is supported by introducing, incorporating, and analyzying appropriate quotations We use the Magic Four formula:
Claim, Evidence, Explain, Explore.
Evidence should include two pieces of evidence for each paragraph. It is important to vary the characterization method used. Here are the six methods: What the character says, what the character does, what the character things, other's reactions to the character, description, and direct characterization. In your paper, it would be best to use three different methods at least once. Two different methods would be minimum requirement.
Conclusion restates argument and connects the theme to the world at large. Connecting it to that character's crucible would be important to having a strong paper.
Language and sentence structure engages reader through student's individual writing style
Revision for proper use of conventions, including appropriate punctuation with quoted material will be very important for this assignment. I have doubled the points you can lose to conventions. Get multiple editors.
MLA is an all-or-nothing score. Get it right or lose all ten points.
