Excellent / Good

Good / Needs Improvement

accurate.

Main ideas are supported by facts,

which are supported by evidence

(primary sources). Entry contains no

obviously inaccurate information.

Entry would be improved with more

evidence. Entry contains no

obviously inaccurate information.

Entry raises questions about the

accuracy of facts, or facts seem

correct, but need to be supported by

more evidence.

Shows analysis and

interpretation.

Entry has a clear thesis (main idea or

point of view). The thesis is

supported by thoughtful analysis and

interpretation, which acknowledges

strengths and weaknesses of the

historical evidence.

The thesis is not clearly stated.

Entry

includes more description than

analysis or interpretation.

Entry has no clear thesis and only

describes people or events without

analysis or interpretation.

Places the topic in

historical context.

Entry includes accurate and

appropriate references to the time

period by specifying the political,

economic, social and cultural

influences (events, ideas, people,

places and objects). Entry shows

historical perspective -- the causes

and consequences of an event, or the

relationship of a local topic to larger

trends or events.

Entry only refers to the time period,

and may mention surrounding events,

ideas, people, and objects but does

not demonstrate how they illustrate

the political, economic, social and

cultural influences of the time.

The causes and consequences of the

topic, or the relation of a local topic

to a larger trend, are not fully

developed.

Entry refers to the time period in

non-specific ways. Entry is only

descriptive and does not analyze the

topic's causes and consequences.

Shows wide research.

Varied sources (primary and

secondary) are used to advance the

entry’s thesis and analysis.

Interpretation and conclusions are

based on solid research.

Some variety of sources (primary and

secondary) is used, but interpretation

and conclusions could be enriched by

more sources showing varied points

of view.

The sources are not diverse (they

may be mostly secondary), and their

relation to the thesis is not clear.

interpretation, based on evidence and

analysis, it acknowledges and

analyzes multiple points of view

(e.g., those who suffered as well as

those who benefited, males and

females, people from different racial,

ethnic or socioeconomic groups), as

appropriate.

Entry presents and advocates one

interpretation over any other with

little evidence or analysis, or

consideration of multiple points of

view.

Entry only presents one point of view

when it is obvious that others exist.
