PAPER

You will be graded on the following on your "From Field to Store" food paper.

**Organization** This trait details with the structure of a piece of writing. Whether you’re writing a poem, an essay, or a business letter, the structure of the writing should contribute to its overall theme. That means that a piece of writing should begin with a solid introduction, that ideas should be presented in a logical order with appropriate pacing, and that it should end with a satisfying conclusion that ties up all the loose ends. Use this checklist in the rough draft revision stage of their writing. **􀂉** My piece begins with an introduction that grabs readers’ attention and gives a taste of what is to come. **􀂉** The ideas in my piece of writing move in a logical sequence from one to another. **􀂉** My piece has an appropriate pace. I’ve moved quickly through some parts (using a wide angle lens) and slowed down to include vivid details (zoom lens) in other parts. **􀂉** I’ve used transition words to show how ideas are connected to one another and to make my writing move along smoothly. **􀂉** My piece ends with a conclusion that wraps things up and feels satisfying to the reader.
