PARAGRAPHS Paragraphs are organized, unified and coherent. Each supporting paragraph has a controlling idea

(which may be expressed in a topic sentence). In supporting paragraphs, topic idea helps further the

topic and purpose. Words are appropriate and well chosen. Writer avoids jargon. Writer seems to be

speaking in an authentic voice. Paper is enjoyable and interesting.
