Substance of Arguments	Experimenting No, or poor, "Thesis Statement." Hard for the reader to tell where the writer stands on the issue.	Developing Has Thesis Statement, but argument points are very few and weak, not backed up with data, facts, or supporting evidence. Not a very convincing argument.	Effective Good Thesis State- ment backed up with sound arguments from the writer's point-of-view, but with too few supporting data and evidence. Need more to convince me.	Strong I'm convinced! Excellent, strong Thesis Statement backed up by data, facts, and other supporting evidence, besides the strong and reasoned opinion of writer.
