Rubric for Essay #2

It is a little more difficult to make a rubric for Essay #2. There are not necessarily key elements to look for in the answers…unless it is to simply list all the accomplishments that have influenced the Western culture. Perhaps it would be helpful to consider this: 1. 7+ points for how comprehensive is the list of accomplishments by the Greeks. 2. 6+ points for being able to present the answers in a thoughtful way that indicates some understanding of the process of a progressing civilization, based on its early influences. 3. 3+ points for originality of thought, rather than just ‘parroting’ information found elsewhere. I am not talking just talking about avoiding plagiarism, but the ability to take knowledge and apply your own creative ideas to the facts. 4. 3+ points for a decent writing style.
