For your last essay, you will be writing a 3-5-page paper on the novel Fried Green Tomatoes at
the Whistle Stop Café by Fannie Flagg. You will compose an engaging, argumentative thesis
stating what you will prove throughout your essay. The body of your essay needs to support
your thesis. Make sure everything you write relates back to your thesis. Remember, the thesis is
the compass for the reader and the reason you are writing the paper.
Make sure your paper is well-organized, having smooth, and logical transitions. Your writing
should reflect a clear understanding of the subject, and you should show your application of
critical thinking skills.
Don’t forget to use MLA format. It needs to be typed, using 12 font, Times New Roman, oneinch
margins, double-space, with a Works Cited and Title page.
Before you turn in your assignment, check for these things:
– Did I do a title and works cited page?
– Did I do all my in-text citations and make sure my quotes are part of a sentence. Remember,
quotes do not stand alone.
– Did I go back and read over my essay and check for grammar errors? Make sure to double
check for spelling, run-on sentences, and punctuation.
– Did I check for flow, making sure I transition from one paragraph to the next smoothly?
– Did I check and make sure I have a clear thesis statement?
– Did I make sure that my quotes support my thesis?
– Did I break up my paragraphs appropriately, making sure they are around 4-7 sentences and
follow the ICE format: introduce,cite, explain?
– Does my concluding paragraph sum up the key points I’ve been presenting in the essay?
– Did I go over previous comments from my instructor to make sure I don’t make the same
mistakes on this paper?
Once you answer yes to these questions, you’re ready to turn your assignment in.
Checklist for Argumentative Writing
(From page 47 of our text, Legacies)
– Do I have a sound argumentative position or claim?
– What is my point of view and tone (ethos) as a write?
– Have I established authority through a thorough reading of the work?
– Have I considered my audience (pathos)?
– Do my reasons follow from and support my claim?
– Is my organization appropriate for the type of argument I am constructing?
– What pattern of development am I using?
– Have I checked my reasoning and explanations for logical fallacies (logos)?
– Am I aware of my warrants, or assumptions?
– Have I used enough evidence from the text to support my points?
– Have I used enough evidence from research to support my points? NOTE: I will be
requiring that you use at least one secondary source for this assignment.
– Have I taken into account opposing points of view?
– Do I have a satisfying conclusion?
Remember, in formal writing you should not be making “I” statements. You would use “I”
statements in reflective writing or a personal narrative, but not in other formal essay
writings. For example, you wouldn’t say, In this essay I am going to show how…… Instead, you
would say, This essay will explore …..
