Multi-modality:

  9. Does the author effectively make use of epigraphs, footnotes, pull quotes, images, photography, original documents, art, maps, graphs, and/or video? Are these carefully selected, arranged and various? Is the image too melodramatic or 'obvious' in its message? Too vague? Does the image advance the power or force of the argument? How? 10. Does each multi-modal element have a caption in MLA formatting explaining what it is? Mechanics: 11. Does the paper contain AT LEAST 4-6 scholarly sources (not counting popular sources), properly documented in MLA formatting both in- text and in a works cited page? (please consult OWL for MLA formatting instructions…or ask!) 12. How is the grammar? You may not know how to fix it, but you can note when a sentence seems off. You might also write, “the grammar seems generally off to me.” If you do notice as much, you are probably right.
