Go through each of the following steps: Choose your question/topic and make sure you are clear on what is expected of you. Make sure you actually understand the question. Gather all the relevant information from the text***. Make point form notes so you do not forget anything. Organize your information into a coherent order so that one idea leads logically to the next. I would number the point form notes from step 2. Write a clear and precise topic sentence that satisfies all aspects of the topic. Write a first draft of your relevant information. Be sure to conclude your paragraph with a clear and precise summary sentence. Edit your draft. Improve word choice, wording, and sentence structure.

EXPECTATIONS ORGANIZATION: clear topic sentence, coherent main body of sentences, precise summary sentence. ONE PARAGRAPH. THOUGHT AND DETAIL: include all relevant details, do not provide opinions or use first person unless the question demands it! MATTTERS OF CORRECTNESS: MLA format must be perfect, do not use contractions, flawless spelling and punctuation MATTEROF CHOICE: You have chosen the best words to make your points clear. Your wording is precise and accurate. You have made the best punctuation choices.
