How do I get a higher score? Consider the following:
1. Textual support. Your statements may be correct, but
does each have a specific support from an event or conversation? Let,
"for instance," be your motto, even though we won't write those words so
often.
2. Development. If you don't get much down on paper, there's less room for you to make a good case.
3. Intelligent word choices and phrases.
4. Sentence variety.
5. Most importantly: Slip in literary elements connected to your thesis and text (not simply for the joy of naming) whenever possible.
