G6 - Essay Class

On Thursday, we will have the essay class. Remember, I don't care if the facts and quotes are true, I am simply using this to assess your MLA essay structure.
Here are the six criteria that I will use to grade your essay:

1. MLA Format is followed


2. An engaging (interesting) hook is used at the beginning of the introduction.
3. A clear thesis statement is used in the introduction.
4. Three quotes are used.
           As Sunassee said, "I love poetry" (2016, p. 23).
           "There are seven ways to find a lost cat" (Kapesa, 2015, p. 45), as we all know.
5. The conclusion restates the thesis.
6. A properly laid out out 'Works Cited' page
            Larsen, Aldino. Why I Love Pizza. Tana Publishing. 2014.
            Mpepho, Hlumelo. Wearing Glasses. Oxford. 1976.
            Rasolomanana, Audrey. Learning Is Fun. Penguin. 2017.

It is relatively easy to get 100% in this essay. This one time, I will even ignore a few spelling errors.
