Language o o o Unity o o o o paragraphs that directly support my main idea thoughts that connect to my purpose in each paragraph no ideas that seem to be unrelated to my topics because they are another topic altogether transitional words or phrases that lead my reader (like a map see transitional phrases sheet for reference) an appropriate tone considering my purpose and audience adjectives that express what I want to say without being general (avoiding words like good or bad) a variety of terms (I have used a thesaurus or synonyms to avoid monotony)

Emphasis o o a repetition of that main idea in every paragraph repetitions only of key words and ideas

Support o explanations, definitions, examples, illustrations or facts that prove my statement or convince my reader

Sentences o o a variety of simple and more complex sentences correct sentences (I have revised my paper to avoid incomplete thoughts)
