Organization of an Essay
- Is there a clearly stated purpose/objective?
- Are there effective transitions?
- Are the introduction and conclusion focused on the main point of the essay?
- As a reader, can you easily follow the writer's flow of ideas?
- Is each paragraph focused on a single idea?
- At any point in the essay, do you feel lost or confused?
- Do any of the ideas/paragraphs seem out of order, too early or too late to be as effective as they could?
