GUIDELINES FOR SCORING C&C ESSAYS IN BOND-LAMBERTY'S CLASS

(When doing so for a Grade from Bond-Lamberty)

Grade with a non-black pen (not red or its variants either). Unless otherwise instructed (which you rarely if ever will be) use the Bond-Lamberty rubric and side of chart. Also, all your labeling and bracketing should go on the right hand margin!

Highlight and underline your thesis. Write “Thesis” in the right margin by it.

Bracket and label all parts addressed appropriately (e.g. AA- China Political or Russia Economic, etc.).

Bracket and label all evidence (e.g. E - Economic #1, or E - China #3).

Highlight and label your comparisons, with an indication if it is a similarity or difference, so for example: “Comparison #2 – Similarity” or “Comparison #4 – Difference.”

Highlight and underline any analysis of reasons for similarity or difference identified in direct comparisons. Label it – Analysis #1 or Anal#3.

Bracket any expanded core not already included above. Label it appropriately.

For example:

_____This is the thesis, the mighty mighty thesis. Thesis

I am addressing political effects on China. } AA- China Pol

This is economic evidence, real economic evidence. } E – Russ #3

This is a comparison of similarities, they are the same. Comp #2 - Sim

This is an analysis of reasons for the identified comparison. Anal #2

In the chart use a checkmark √ to indicate that something (like the thesis or evidence, or really all boxes) meets your standard. If they have gained a point in for that category (thesis, POV, grouping, etc.) then write the number of points that they earned and circle it within the box of the category in the appropriate row.
