• Use specific key words, descriptive words, vocabulary, and phrases from the sources. Use academic vocabulary, not casual language or slang.
• Must have a clear claim/thesis statement.
• Include evidence from the text/sources to support your claim.
• Avoid summarizing the texts. Responses should be written in response to the texts, not a repeat of what they say.
• Cite the source for each piece of evidence, whether a direct quotation or a paraphrase, at the end of the sentence. (Source #3).
• Use varied transitions/linking words and phrases both at the beginning and within paragraphs to link ideas: because, therefore, in order to, in addition, for instance, consequently, specifically, conversely, on the other hand.
• Write an effective concluding paragraph that restates your thesis, summarizes the points you made, and provides a sense of closure.
• Use consistent verb tense, probably all present tense verbs.
• Always proofread and check spelling, capitalization, punctuation, fragments, and run-on sentences. (Follow the conventions of Standard English grammar and usage.
• Revise.

• Informal language is acceptable.
