Have I:

• Made clear which course goals this writing task helps students meet?
• Specified the audience and purpose of the assignment?
• Outlined clearly all required sub-parts of the assignment (if any)?
• Included my grading criteria on the assignment sheet?
• Pointed students toward appropriate prewriting activities or sources of information?
• Specified the format of the final paper (including documentation, headings or sections, page layout)?
• Given students models or appropriate samples?
• Set a schedule that will encourage students to review each other's drafts and revise their papers?
