1. Analyze the first paragraph. Does the draft have a strong hook? Does it immediately give the reader information s/he didn’t know already? Do the sentences rely on simple, active verbs? Is the thesis statement clear and powerful? Suggest ways the writer can improve the introduction.
2. What contextual or background information is given in addition to the summary of the article? Has the author done any additional research? Does the draft explain not only what the research is, but also why it matters?
3. If the author were to add another paragraph of additional background information where should that paragraph go? What information should it contain?
