    Here's what its graded on

    Organization and Format (10pts)
    -clear statement of the belief
    -organized and logical sequence of paragraphs

    Narration (15pts)
    -a compelling story or examples that illustrate how the writer formed this belief

    Details and Description (15pts)
    -concrete language and descriptive writing (appealing to taste, touch, hearing, seeing, feeling)
    -illustration rather than abstract assertion

    Grammar, usage, spelling, mechanics (10pts)
    -appropriate use of complete sentences

    Total of 50pts

    Make it as long or short as possible to convey your belief. But also ask yourself these questions when writing it.

    What is the best quality of this paper?
    Is there a clear statement of the belief somewhere in the paper? What is it?
    Is the belief pulled out of the air, or is it grounded in the personal experience of the writer? What convinces you of this?
    Does the paper tell a story that illustrates how the writer formed this belief? What is the story?
    Is the story convincing? What is convincing about it? What has the writer done to make it seem real to you - the reader?
    Does the paper have concrete details, or are there too many philosophical assertions that aren't illustrated with examples? In other words, does it show and illustrate rather than just tell and make abstract assertions?
    What do you think of the organization of the paper, and the order in which ideas are presented? Is it logical and easy to follow? Would you organize it in a different way?
    Do you have any suggestions about grammar, spelling, or punctuation?
    What did you learn from reading this?


    You can submit it via post or PM, either way there might be a prize.

      Though "This I Believe" is a serious kind of essay, not a fictional essay about "How the Easter bunny got a sex change" yea he got $100 check in the mail.
