Heritage Minute Analysis. I also attached the rubric (grading system) please follow that. thank you. :)

Criteria

Comments

Introduction & Conclusion 6/10

• introduce the source(s)

• has an underlined thesis statement that includes your main argument and the themes to be analyzed in the essay

• clear conclusion that summarizes your main points

See comments re: developing a clear thesis statement/main argument.

The intro and conclusion should directly reference the sources and event about which you are writing.

Content/Body 13/20

• engages with the primary source(s)

• places sources in broader historical context

• analyzes the sources rather than describing the content

• uses relevant quotes or paraphrases from the material to support the argument

Your essay discusses some aspects of the Galerm document but only mentions Winslow’s in passing. Both should be analysed equally.

You make some important points, but overall your paper is more descriptive than analytic. A clear thesis and topic sentences would help. Think about the WHY, not just the what. That will help you to develop your analysis.

Writing 12 /15

• proper grammar and syntax

• full sentences & proper paragraphs

• clear, concise writing

• paragraphs begin with analytic topic sentences

History essays should be written in the past tense. Otherwise, it is generally well-written. See comments and corrections throughout.

Sources/Citations 3/5

• footnotes or endnotes using format from Chicago Manual of Style (notes and bibliography)

• a properly formatted bibliography
