How to grade the essay

An 8 or 9-

  • A clear, well developed thesis
  • Supported with considerable, relevant historical information
5-7
  • A partially developed thesis supported with some relevant historical information
2-4
  • A confused and unfocused thesis. 
If you have no thesis, it is an automatic zero.

** if you want a 5 on the exam, each free response must be higher than a 6.
