Introduction to Literary Analysis: Composition Evaluation Form
I will grade your composition based on the folowing
ten criteria. Please check this evaluation form to
ensure you meet all of the assignment's requirements.
Additionally, at least one other person should read
your composition and evaluate it. This other person
can be a classmate or me or both. If a classmate
evaluates your composition, they (and you) should do
it without talking. Thank you.
