Comparative Contrast Essay Grading Rubric

Please see below the grading rubric for your Comparison-Contrast Essay, which was worth 100 points:

Block or Point-By-Point Essay Pattern: 20 points
Essay Organization or Structure: 20 points
Thesis Statement: 10 points
Subtopics(which support the thesis): 10 points
Development of Ideas/Supporting Details/Transitional words & phrases: 30 points
Essay Conclusion: 10 points

Students may wish to revise the essay and turn in a second draft. Revisions are worth 10 points, which, if earned, will be added to the final essay grade. However, revisions must reflect changes in the context or the ideas in the essay, in addition to corrections of grammar and vocabulary. Students should continue to visit the Titulo V tutors or come to my office hours for assistance.
