Which primary text are they writing about? (I Am Legend, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, or 28 Days Later)
Which secondary/theory text are they using ["Monster Culture (Seven Theses)," The Horror Film, or The Monster Show]
(If you can't tell which primary text or secondary text the author is using from the first paragraph, warn them that they need to make that clear).
What is the author's thesis that they are trying to prove in the paper?
Is the paper formated properly?
Is the author avoiding summary without making a claim that is proven by the summary?

What is the best use of a quote from a secondary text? Why is this good?
Where does author need to add more quotes or explanations of quotes?
