Rough Draft Check List

Rough Draft Checklist

Each student will hand in this checklist at the end of the class. Make sure to write your name and the title of your essay at the top of the page. Make sure that everyone in your group signs off on your rough draft.

The purpose of this exercise is to ensure that each student uses the strength and insight of his or her group to complete the rough draft of Assignment #1, which is due today (and is worth a maximum of 10 points).

Students will share their draft with the rest of their group. The group will check each student’s essay for title, thesis statement, organization, clarity, style, grammar, spelling, and overall impact. Each student in the group must read and sign the handout of everyone in his or her group beneath the checklist (I’ve left room for signatures). That means that if you have a five-person group, your handout will be signed by the four other members of your group.
