25 %

Exemplary

The organization is made evident through effective use of headings as well as clear topic sentences and transitions.
Good

The paper is well organized and moves through all five questions of Groome's theological reflection. The organization is reflected in headings, but may benefit from transition sentences or clear topic sentences once or twice.
Acceptable

Unacceptable

The paper is poorly organized and has little clarity. One or more of the five questions of Groome's theological reflection are missing or difficult to find in the paper. This paper may read more like a "stream of consciousness" than an organized essay.
