  1. This is a good checklist for you when you are in the process of composing your final draft. You can reread your essay to make sure you get the "composing" section completed. Style can be done during the same process. Sentence Formation, Usage, and Mechanics are done through revising, proof reading, and peer-review. These stages are all important to write a good essay.

    1. I agree, it is a good check list for not only your final draft but for all your stages. Because you don't want to procrastinate on any last minute ideas. You want to follow trough with your main idea from beginning to end.

  2. My thoughts on today's activity is that the rubric can limit you but also prepare and help you to write a good essay. By looking at the different levels it will help me to know what to put and what not to put in my essay. This could be useful to all the stages of the writing process. Thank you for sharing the rubric with us Dr. Rivera! It will hopefully give us a clearer picture.

  3. A rubric is another strategy for writing a good essay. English professors use rubric for checking student's essay. They use level to see which part we lack in the essay. It is helpful for students to use the rubric so we know if we meet the criteria, like, composing, style, sentence formation, usage, and mechanism. Another activity is about exemplification. It is another useful for writing, and it is about explaining using examples.

  5. After going over the rubric for how my essays are graded, I realized that I've excelled in some areas of the rubric and faltered on others. More specifically, I think I need to work on my mechanics and sentence formation when writing my essays. Other than that, the rest of my dad consisted on working on myreadinglab.
