Works Cited Mini-Lesson

Self- then Peer-Editing and Revisions

--Is the evidence I have relevant?

--Do my quote sandwiches clearly connect each piece of evidence to my topic sentence and claim?

--Is there sufficient evidence
         --for the universal refugee experience?
         --to explain how Hà is an example of that experience?

--Does my essay have a clear claim that relates directly to the prompt?

--Does my essay start by explaining who Ha was before she was forced to flee?  Does my essay come back to that idea later on?

--Do my paragraphs have topic and concluding sentences?  Do I transition smoothly between ideas?

--What am I doing well?  What's my next step?
