  4. Do you have a strong thesis statement
  5. Do you have 5 paragraphs: intro, 3 bodies, and a conclusion
  6. Does each body have a topic sentence?
  7. Do your body paragraphs discuss your resources –giving a point, giving evidence (quote),  stating significance –and then citing your quote?
  8. Do you have a conclusion?  This should restate your thesis but now state how you have proven your thesis….
