Today during class we started a new unit on essay writing. We went over the argumentative essay rubric and discussed what makes a good essay according to the rubric. The first catergory we went over was presentation which entails uniform font size, margins, mla format etc, that's what makes presentation effective, but we were also instructed to say what makes presentation ineffective and the class said, not uniformed font/size, not mla format, and inconsistent margins. Then we split up into our groups and were assigned a category fom the rubic and were instucted to make a list of what makes the category effective and what makes it ineffective. My group got content and some of the things that we listed under effective were integrating and analyzing evidence, acknowleding the audience knowledge of the subject, and claims/counterclaims. Under ineffective we put limited focus, off topic, and unrelated evidence. Another group had research. Under effective they put no plagiarism, correct citation, and analyzed correctly. Under ineffective they put no citation, plagiarism, choppy. Another group had organization. Under effective they put paragrph form, effective conclusions and transitions. Under ineffective they put no intro, incorrect thesis, and conclusion does not conclude. The last group had voice and style. Under effective they put good use of tone, sophisticated language and depth of vocabulary. Under ineffective they put informal tone, bad language, and bad grammar.
