-Background information pertaining to the causes of the Civil War (4-5 sentences…do not make
too long….if you’re opening paragraph takes almost a whole page then it’s too long)

explains your position…should be at the end of first paragraph

This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome-Supporting Evidence At
least three paragraphs that fully provide evidence that substantially supports
your argument in the intro. Should interject evidence from the textbook and attached video. Your thoughts and analysis
should be sprinkled with evidence such as quotes, but do not turn a
paragraph into a collection of quotes.
-Your citations are cited correctly using MLA if you are using evidence
beyond the documents (examples: YouTube video, textbook, outside
articles)
-You specifically explain why the evidence you provided specifically connects to the main thesis

-Sentences are easy to follow
-Spelling, grammar, and punctuation should have very few errors (use
spellcheck)

20.0 pts
This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome-Organization
Paragraphs should be organized in a manner that is logical and does not jump around. Each
paragraph addresses one analytical category. The use of transitional sentences at the end of
your supporting paragraphs is a great way to ease into each separate topic.
10.0 pts
This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome-Conclusion
The conclusion should rephrase your thesis statement to reiterate the points
you discussed in the essay.
