Essay Evaluation Questions
1) Is the title appealing? if you can make a new title by skimming through the essay and finding an interesting sentence.
The title appealing because it is simple about myself. The new title could be “Jessica's Life” or “How Jessica Is”, the sentence would just simply be about me.
2) How effective is the first paragraph at getting the reader’s attention? Will it make them want to read more?
The first paragraph is effective because it will make readers want to read more about me and what I do in my life. The second paragraph gets into more detail because it tells the readers what goes on next in the life of Jessica. It will make readers want to read more if they want to find out what I want in my life and what I should be doing.
3) Is the thesis: ‘You should accept me into your college because of this, this, and this,’ hinted at without being said outright?
