Grading Rubric for  Proposal Essay

I. CONTENT (50 points)

• The subject is focused, significant, interesting, and manageable. It is appropriate for college-level work and fulfills the requirements of the assignment. It may demonstrate an effective originality and/or a challenging level of academic/intellectual difficulty.
• The paper contains sufficient, specific supporting evidence for assertions, in the form of examples, details, and discussion. The supporting evidence demonstrates originality, thoughtfulness, thoroughness, and/or significant and appropriate research. Lapses in reasoning are avoided. When appropriate, opposing viewpoints are acknowledged and effectively addressed.
• Supporting evidence from sources is accurately paraphrased, summarized, and/or quoted
•  There is an effective ratio between evidence and discussion. 

II. ORGANIZATION (20 points)

• The paper’s introduction leads smoothly and coherently to the thesis statement--i.e., it contains a well-developed introductory paragraph that provides an explanation of the topic’s significance, and/or background/context.
• The thesis clearly and effectively states the paper’s central point. It is precise and is neither too broad nor too narrow. It is positioned appropriately--usually near the end of the introduction.
• Each body paragraph contains a controlling idea that supports the thesis and that may be expressed in a clear, precise topic sentence. Supporting evidence is related to the controlling idea. Paragraphs follow paragraph graphic organizer.
• The paper exhibits a clear organizational pattern. Transitions and other connecting devices between and within paragraphs create coherence. Supporting evidence from sources is smoothly integrated into the discussion following source sandwich model.
• A concluding paragraph summarizes the paper’s main points and effectively leaves the reader with a significant conclusion that clearly stemsfrom the evidence and the reasoning.
