AF: MVA Evaluation -- last year's

I'm revising this for you, but mostly I'm reworking the format.  The content is good; you can rely on these bullet points.

Framing the MVA
  • The writer includes a “Dear Reader” Letter to describe and introduce the work to a reader who has never read an MVA before
  • The writer includes End Notes to explain how the pieces were written, and to direct readers to the appropriate citation for the creative pieces
  • The writer includes a Works Cited page to fully document sources
  • The Rationale, turned in separately, is fully developed and satisfying
Audience Awareness, Development of Thesis and Use of Supporting Evidence
  • The writer significantly answers his/her problematical question through the use of genre(s)
  • The writer narrows, defines, and clarifies the central purpose/question for this project
  • The writer’s main point/thesis aims at the intended audience and is clear after reading the entire project, although it may not be explicitly stated
  • The writer constructs an effective argument with credible appeals to logos, ethos and pathos
  • By the end of the paper the reader sees that the writer has presented an argument
Research
  • The project reflects serious, in-depth research
  • The writer appropriately uses 6-8 sources
  • The writer avoids plagiarism and appropriately documents and explains sources used
Genre-writing
  • The writer has written competently and thoroughly in the chosen genres and voices
  • The genres are appropriate for the audience and purpose of the project
  • The  writer has included at least six genres
Organization/Unity
  • The project is clearly and effectively organized and forms a unified whole
  • The writer effectively utilizes a repetend to unify and connect the paper
  • The sequence of genres makes sense and meets the needs of the reader
Surface Errors

  • The paper has few editing or proofreading errors
  • The writer’s usage, grammar, sentence structure, and punctuation are clear and correct or appropriate when a specific genre calls for non-standard usage
