The author needs to make the essay flow well, as sure as to make solids claims with proper evidence. You need to fully answer or address the prompt, completely describing your perspective on the matter. The writer needs to keep a solid structure, as then the essay will have a solid flow and not be all jumbled up.]]> 2018-03-01 15:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jpender/ufgkdn8jtubz/wish/236960484 536895 https://padlet.com/jpender/ufgkdn8jtubz/wish/236960514 In my opinion, a good essay is one that fully addresses the prompt given, making sure not to miss secondary questions within it or nuances that are implied. It has counterarguments that show one's understanding of the other side of the issue and then rebukes these to strengthen the author's own argument. It of course uses evidence and reasoning to prove the thesis statement which has supporting claims. There are three types of commonly written essays: argumentative essays, persuasive essays, and informative essays. These are some of the requirements that make a good essay.]]> 2018-03-01 15:24:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jpender/ufgkdn8jtubz/wish/236960514 537235 https://padlet.com/jpender/ufgkdn8jtubz/wish/236960619 A good essay is one that completely and extensively assesses what is being asked and its implications. It ensures that the reader is engaged by thoughtfully utilizing examples and evidence to suggest conclusions and providing counterarguments that strengthen the legitimacy of those conclusions. Strong reasoning is essential to the success of an essay.]]> 2018-03-01 15:24:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jpender/ufgkdn8jtubz/wish/236960619 536790 https://padlet.com/jpender/ufgkdn8jtubz/wish/236960644 A successful essay is one that fulfills its purpose whether that is to inform, persuade, or to make an argument. A successful essay fully addresses the topic or question being discussed, thoroughly providing evidence to further understanding on that topic, and extending past that, making further connections.]]> 2018-03-01 15:24:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jpender/ufgkdn8jtubz/wish/236960644 5387621 https://padlet.com/jpender/ufgkdn8jtubz/wish/236960812 A good essay is able to remain interesting to the reader throughout the whole essay. A good introduction paragraph and a strong thesis hook the reader and also set up the paragraphs to follow. In order to support your thesis, strong, relevant evidence is needed. Without this, your argument would lack support and the reader wouldn't see the logical side of the essay. Reasoning shows how the evidence relates back to the thesis and the other pieces of evidence. To summarize the argument and the evidence supported, a conclusion is required. ]]> 2018-03-01 15:25:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jpender/ufgkdn8jtubz/wish/236960812 537100 https://padlet.com/jpender/ufgkdn8jtubz/wish/236960857 -having a reasonable claim that can be backed up with evidence
-addressing the counterclaim that could be made

This plan should have the  general idea of how you want to structure your essay and proper evidence to aid your investigation.
In terms of content, a rebuttal also makes a good essay because it challenges your claim and can tell the reader about both viewpoints of a topic.

Evidence fully supports the claim. Counterclaims are also present, and a wide variety of evidence is used. (ex personal life, scientific research, etc).  Specific and qualified language is also important. Informal tone should not be used. ]]> 2018-03-01 15:25:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jpender/ufgkdn8jtubz/wish/236961367 537465 https://padlet.com/jpender/ufgkdn8jtubz/wish/236961460 A good essay provides well supporting evidence and reasoning for the thesis. It also fully answers the prompt and uses academic language throughout the essay. Typically, a good essay has an introduction paragraph, some body paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph.  ]]> 2018-03-01 15:26:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jpender/ufgkdn8jtubz/wish/236961460 537284 https://padlet.com/jpender/ufgkdn8jtubz/wish/236961526 -Logical order
-Good analysis
-Has evidence (typically quotes)
-Stays related to the prompt
-Enjoyable to read, don't try to do the typical 6th grade essay where you start with a "hook" and force a question into the first paragraph and write four other paragraphs
-Goodest Grammer

In the introductory paragraph there is background and claim which covers the all part of the question and it has sub claims which will be talked about in the body paragraphs. For on essay to be good the idea being argued or presented should pertain to what is being asked and should be backed up by evidence which accurately reasons the claims. The claim and sub claims are used to show reasoning and comprehension of the topic. Also a counterclaim also does this because it shows how someone knows the opposing side and can go against it. ]]> 2018-03-01 15:26:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jpender/ufgkdn8jtubz/wish/236961626 536526 https://padlet.com/jpender/ufgkdn8jtubz/wish/236961657 A good essay is comprised of a clear claim, strong evidence, and detailed reasoning. One needs to have a clear claim in order to effectively argue a point. Maintaining a claim and circling back to it at the end of the reasoning captures the reader and emphasizes the point of the essay. Evidence that supports the claim in an efficient manner strengthens the argument of the essay. This argument is emboldened by a consistent reasoning which explains the evidence and describes it in correlation with the claim. Overall, a good essay is eloquent and structured in order to comprehensibly support a claim.]]> 2018-03-01 15:26:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jpender/ufgkdn8jtubz/wish/236961657 537217 https://padlet.com/jpender/ufgkdn8jtubz/wish/236961665 A good essay is comprised of a strong structure that guides the reader through the claim, counterclaim, evidence and reasoning present in the essay. A good essay uses evidence and reasoning in order to support the claim that it is trying to assert, and uses strong, academic, yet comprehensible language. A good essay evaluates both a claim and counterclaim in order to make sure the reader understands the topic and why the position you chose is the best. ]]> 2018-03-01 15:26:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jpender/ufgkdn8jtubz/wish/236961665 537087 https://padlet.com/jpender/ufgkdn8jtubz/wish/236961726 I think a good essay answers the prompt given and can maintain its thesis though out the whole essay.

The claim would be supported by evidence, of which would have reasoning about how it supports the claim. A good essay also has a wide vocabulary and correctly used grammer.
