rubric
All 4 moves present + claim is arguable + reasons previewed = 4; 3 of 4 = 3; 2 = 2; <2 = 1
Hints
- Hook options: fact, question, anecdote, quote.
- Don't announce ('I will argue ___'); pull the reader in.
Misconceptions to watch
- Hook is generic ('have you ever wondered ___').
- Claim is buried in the middle instead of at end of intro.
