Step+6--Evaluation

Before you show your paper (and product) to an audience, be sure it is as perfect as you can make it. You should be proud to put your name on your paper.

**You should be able to answer “yes” to these questions before you turn in your paper:**
1. Is your final paper a thoughtful response to the assignment?

2. Does your final paper represent your ideas and conclusions?

3. Is your paper more than just a summary of other people’s ideas?

4. If you paraphrased or summarized information found in books or magazines, on the Internet, or from other people, did you cite the source at point of use in your paper (using a parenthetical reference)?

5. Did you give credit to all of your sources in a "Works Cited" page?

6. Did you do everything in the assignment?

7. Does your "Works Cited" page follow the MLA format? Find out if your teacher requires a format other than MLA.

8. Is your paper word processed (or very neatly typed or hand-written if you do not have access to a computer)?

9. Is your paper complete and does it include a title page with heading information (title, your name, your teacher’s name, date, etc.)

10. If your teacher requests these, did you include your notes, copies of each draft, and an annotated bibliography?

11. Would you be proud for anyone to read this paper?

12. Do you understand each step of the Big6 and writing processes? If not, who can you ask for help? [|**For Teachers and Parents**]
