• Has theme been accurately defined? Process explained? (4 steps)
• Have you explained what you have learned about theme, personally?
• Has an issue been applied to each of the two texts? 
• Has that issue been written as a theme? (What the author is saying about the issue). 
• Is there sufficient evidence to support each theme (3 textual examples)? 
• Have the examples been explained as to why they connect to the theme? 
• Has the textual evidence been cited correctly on the slide? (In-text citations).
• Has the 3rd remaining issue been applied to BOTH texts?
• Has this 3rd issue been written as a theme that applies to BOTH texts? 
• Is there sufficient evidence that supports both texts and the applied theme?
