🎯 1. Content & Structural Unity

The Introduction Hook: My essay has an interesting opening sentence that catches the reader's attention.

The Thesis Statement: My first paragraph ends with a clear sentence showing exactly what my essay will prove.

Evidence & Support: Every body paragraph includes specific facts, quotes, or examples to support my topic.

🧩 2. Coherence & Flow (The ACA Model)

Transition Signposts: I used connecting words (like Furthermore, In contrast, Therefore) to link paragraphs.

Linear Layout: My body paragraphs are organized logically, moving smoothly from one sub-point to the next.

The Closing Synthesis: My conclusion summarizes my main points and closes neatly without adding random new data.

✏️ 3. Grammar, Spelling & Mechanics

Spelling Cleanliness: I checked my spelling using software AND double-checked confused words (like their / there / they're).

Punctuation Triggers: Every sentence ends cleanly with an appropriate terminal mark (. or ? or !). No floating commas.

The Ellipsis Rule (...): If I used an ellipsis, I used exactly three dots to indicate removed text. I did NOT use them casually to trail off an unfinished thought.

📋 4. Editing Rules & Layout

Capitalization Rules: I capitalized the first letter of every single sentence and all proper nouns (names, cities, dates).

Subject-Verb Concord: I checked my verbs to make sure singular subjects have singular verbs, and plural subjects match plural verbs.

Submission Identifiers: My essay has an assignment title, and my name, grade, and date are cleanly typed at the top.
