Analysis% 20%%

Structure: Introduction clearly lays out problem/solution and "hooks" the reader, making him/her interested in reading more. Body paragraphs feature logical, consistent (e.g. PIE-style) paragraphs help the reader understand each step of the evaluation argument. Analysis: The essay presents an in-depth argument for the existence of a problem and/or the superiority of a given solution. Reasons go beyond the obvious and require argumentation. Essay does not only lay out facts that most readers are likely to already know or understand. Writer persuasively uses rebuttal (either counterargument, refutation, or both) Essay is at least 3 written pages (not including bibliography)

Structure: Introduction paragraph has a problem/solution but the basic argument, including reasons for the claim do not come until later in the essay.

Analysis: Reasons and argumentation are present but may be obvious, self-explanatory, redundant, or purely personal at times.

Writer tries to use rebuttal, but may not effectively attack an opposing side (refutation) or show their proposed solution to be stronger (counterargument)
