To write strong essays, here's a helpful checklist for students to follow:
**I slowly, carefully, and thoroughly proofread my essay before submitting for review **My topic is manageable **Sentences are varied (complex, compound, simple) **I do not have “around me” in my essay (e.g.: the world around me; the people around me) **My sentences have different beginnings and varied structure. **All Google suggestions have been addressed for spelling and grammar. **I don’t use “will be able to”/”am able to”/”was able to”/”allowed me to” **Spelling, punctuation, and capitalization is all correct; check those proper nouns! **I have learned to embrace the comma! Quick rules for commas Extended rules for commas (esp. when using the word "but") **My essay is not just 1 big paragraph; in fact, it has at least 2 paragraphs **I’ve shown off my strong and varied vocabulary instead of the typical overused blah words. **I enjoyed reading my essay (hint: if you don't enjoy it, it's likely that others won't either).
