First Impression:
 After reading the essay for the first time, what is your overall impression? My overall
impression of the paper is that it was written good.

1. Introduction
 Is there a good title? Does it draw you, the reader, into the paper? There is a good
title and it draws me.
 What is the essay’s thesis? Is it clearly worded? Does it provide a focus for the
rest of the essay? Does the thesis clearly call for action? Is the proposal as clear
and specific as possible? Is it realistic or possible to accomplish? I didn’t notice a
clear thesis or a thesis at all in the paper.The proposal is somewhat realistic, it can
be accomplish but not as easily as said.
 Is the proposal too sweeping? Does it need to be qualified? If so, how? The only
cons to the proposal is that realistically many people may not have the funds or
time to participate or help.
 Does the proposal clearly address the problem that it intends to solve? If not, how
could the connection be strengthened? The proposal clearly addresses the problem.
 Is the claim likely to get the audience to act rather than just to agree? If not, how
could it be revised to do so? The claim is likely to get the audience to act.

2. Evidence for the Claim


 "Is enough evidence furnished to get the audience to support the proposal? If not, what
kind of additional evidence is needed? Does any of the evidence provided seem
inappropriate or otherwise ineffective? Why? There is enough evidence to get the audience
to support the proposal. The evidence seemed right and not inappropriate.
 Is the evidence in support of the claim simply announced, or are its significance and
appropriateness analyzed? Is a more detailed discussion needed? The evidence is in
support of the claim simply announced.
 Are objections that readers might have to the claim or evidence adequately and fairly
addressed? Any objections readers may have would be addressed throughout the
paragraph. The writer sets up their paragraph in a good way.
 What kinds of sources are cited? How credible and persuasive will they be to readers?
What other kinds of sources might work better? Sources from blogs, news, and
organizations. Most of the sources can be persuasive and credible to the readers but not
all of them; such as the ones from blogs.
 Are all quotations introduced with appropriate signal phrases (such as “As Tyson
argues, . . .”) and blended smoothly into the writer’s sentences? Quotations are
introduced with appropriate signal phrases and blends smoothly.

Parts of the argument is in order. The organization is effective because it keeps the
reader engaged. The topics are together instead of scrambled around.
 Will readers understand the relationships among the claims, supporting reasons, warrants,
and evidence? If not, how might those connections be clearer? Is the function of every
visual clear? Are more transitions needed? Would headings or graphic devices help? The
reader will understand the relationships. A few more transitions would help to make it
smoother.
 Are the transitions or links from point to point, sentence to sentence, and paragraph to
paragraph clear and effective? Are transitions evident and helpful in oral presentations or
speeches, videos, infographics, or other media? If not, how could they be improved? Most
of the transitions are clear, there can be a change in transitions from sentence to sentence
and point to point. But overall the transitions are clear.
 Are all visuals carefully integrated into the text? Is each visual introduced and commented
on to point out its significance? Is each visual labeled as a figure or a table and given a
caption as well as a citation? Visuals are carefully integrated into the text, each visual is
introduced and commented on it point out its significance. The visual also follows a
citation
 Is the style suited to the subject? Is it too formal, casual, or technical? Can it be
improved? The style is suited to the subject, since the subject is kind of heartfelt that is
how the paper is. The tone becomes technical at times though.
 Which sentences seem effective? Which ones seem weaker, and how could they be
improved? Should short sentences be combined, and any longer ones be broken up? The
beginning paragraph of page 4 can be fixed a little to make the topic sentence stronger.
 How effective are the paragraphs or sections? Too short or too long? How can they be
improved? The paragraphs are very effective, some are short and long. It can be improved
