Examine causes and consequences of a significant historical event
In this standard, you need to write an essay explaining how a major historical event caused two different outcomes. You'll pick the event and the two consequences, then show how they connect back to that event—with evidence and explanation to back up your ideas. The better your essay, the deeper and more detailed your analysis needs to be.
You examine two different consequences of an event and make basic links between them and the event, using some supporting evidence in a conventional essay structure.
You examine two consequences in depth, making clear and direct connections between each consequence and the event, with detailed and well-selected evidence developed across coherent paragraphs.
You present a logically structured essay that integrates detailed examples with analysis and evaluation rather than just description, demonstrating sophisticated historical understanding with well-chosen evidence and nuanced vocabulary.
