FORM
This is the structural part of the essay--the "bones" upon which the rest hangs. It is essential to support the essay so

proofread their essays and to ask for additional proofreading assistance. There is no reason for mistakes.

b. ORGANIZATION (10 points) Organization of an essay means the pattern of ideas

expressed by the applicant, most usually top to bottom in an essay of limited length. A disorganized essay
should earn no points.

c. CRAFTSMANSHIP (10 points) (use of proper words, sentence structure,

paragraphing, etc.) This includes reasonable paragraphing and creative word use of any sort.
(Paragraphs in right place, excellent construction, correct punctuation, etc., give 10 points. Subtract points for run-on
sentences, improper paragraphs, incorrect punctuation, etc.)
CONTENT
This is the essential part of the essay. It must include the main and supporting ideas of the writer on the theme of this
year's contest. This part is worth 50 points because the two components cover the substance of the essay. The essay
writer must have demonstrated preparation toward the goal stated.

a. MAIN IDEA(S) (25 points) It is essential that the theme of the contest is clearly addressed. (A strongly stated
and clearly understood thesis gets 20 or near 20 points.

b. SUPPORTING IDEAS (25 points) The main ideas presented must be thoroughly
2|P age

discussed. The contestant can cite examples, observations, studies, experience, and activities in support of the main
ideas of the essay.
IMPRESSION
This part is for the judge's reaction. It is worth 20 points and gives latitude to the variety of opinions reflected in the
judges.

a. PROGNOSIS (5 points) The judges must have the impression that the essay highlights
the essence of the contest theme.

b. PERSONAL REACTION (15 points) This is the place for the judge's personal
opinion. Also, the pathos/egotism abhorrence reaction can be reflected here. (If you love it, give 15 points. If you hate it,
0 points. Use the whole range with 7-8 points being a neutral reaction.
This is the only category in which a judge may show his/her subjective feelings about the essay.)
