The following rubric will be used to assess your writing this semester. We will be writing in the modes of argumentative, rhetorical analysis, and synthesis. This rubric uses the 0-9 scoring system that is used by AP CollegeBoard. You will notice four scales to the right of each score. Scale 1 corresponds to the first nine weeks; Scale 2 corresponds to the second nine weeks and so on. You will have to progress in your writing to maintain your grade in this course. As long as you are implementing what you are learning in class, you will do just fine.

This is the process you will use each time you write a rhetorical analysis (homework essays).
