Student Checklist - Ideas/Organization

Ideas

1. It’s easy to tell what the main idea is
2. I did not include everything I knew or read, I only told what was most important
3. I included enough details so my reader can understand the topic
4. I included evidence, examples, facts, explanation

Organization

1. The opening makes you want to read more
2. What I wrote is like a recipe or map – easy directions to follow
3. I used transitions between ideas or topics
4. I ended my writing with a summary
