What is the essay’s thesis? Is it explicit or implied? How could the thesis be stated more effectively? Does it have a Rogerian thesis, which states the opposing view first and then the author’s argument and position?
Is the Rogerian theory used in the essay? Does the essay mention the opposing viewpoint along with an unbiased restatement of that view and enough detail to show the reader both sides of the issue? If not, what does the author need to add for support?
What purpose does the essay serve—to inform, to evaluate, to persuade readers to accept a viewpoint, to eliminate misconceptions, or to call them to action?
What are the main points supporting the thesis? List the points. Is each supporting point developed sufficiently in the body paragraphs? If not, where is more support needed? Which points, subject, or paragraphs need more support?
Does the essay have Logos? Is it a sound, reasonable, logical argument, which is supported by facts, statistics etc.? If not, what does the author need to add?
Does the essay use Pathos? Do they use it well and is it effective? Or over-the-top? Is it appropriate for the audience? If not, what do they need to do?
Does the essay show Ethos? Is the author reliable and credible? If not, tell the author what they need to add into their essay or take out, which help make them more credible.
Does each paragraph have a topic sentence that tells the reader what point will be talked about next. If not, point out where they were weak and offer a suggestion.
Where would signal devices (also, likewise, in contrast) make it easier to see similarities and differences between the subjects being discussed?
Are there transitions within the topic sentences? Are they redundant or confusing? If so, where and how should they fix them?
What is the tone? Does the essay come off as condescending, sexist, or racist? If so, which sentences and words convey this tone? Offer suggestions on how to adjust the tone of the essay.
Could the Introduction or Conclusion paragraphs be strengthened? If so, what is your suggestion? Is there an anecdote, fact, or statistic in the paper that could be moved to the conclusion?
Did you notice glaring misspellings, misplaced modifiers, fragments, run-ons, or punctuation mistakes? If so, circle them on their essay.

Read the excerpt from "mother tongue." those tests were constructed around items like fill-in-the-blank sentence completion, such as “even though tom was mary thought he was ” and the correct answer always seemed to be the most bland combinations of thoughts, for example, “even though tom was foolish, mary thought he was ridiculous.” well, according to my mother, there were very few limitations as to what tom could have been and what mary might have thought of him. so i never did well on tests like that. how does tan build a central idea of her story in the excerpt? tan discusses the types of questions on achievement tests to support the idea that the tests limit students’ ability to write well. tan explains a question on a language achievement test to support the idea that the tests should include more interesting content. tan gives an example of her experience with achievement tests to support the idea that they are not always accurate measures of language ability. tan considers how her mother might answer a question on a test to support the idea that nonstandard english limits a person’s ability to communicate.
