Evaluating persuasive writing

  1. Is the main idea stated clearly?
  2. Does the writer take a firm, clear stand on a debatable issue?
  3. Does the writer use adequate evidence to support that stand?
  4. Does the writer take good account of his or her audience?
  5. Is the author credible?
  6. Are the arguments based on logic but employ emotion effectively?
  7. Does the writer take good account of and refute counter-arguments?
  8. Does the writer offer or call for solutions?
