Crucible essay
	Good 5 pts	Fair 3 pts	Poor 1 pts
Focus on Topic and Organization	Good There is one clear, well-focused topic. The main idea stands out and is supported by detailed information.	Fair The main idea is clear, but the supporting information is general and there are no clear details.	Poor The main idea is not clear. There is a need for more supporting information and/or there is a seemingly random collection of information.
Topic Support (x2)	Good Three or more quality details give the reader important information that goes beyond what has been discussed in class, what is obvious, and what is predictable.	Fair Two supporting details and information are given and are relative to the topic.	Poor One or no supportive details are given and are not relative or supportive of the topic.
Introduction	Good The introduction is inviting, states the main topic, and previews the structure of the paper.	Fair The introduction states the main topic, but does not adequately preview the structure of the paper, nor is it particularly inviting to the reader.	Poor There is no clear introduction of the main topic or structure of the paper.
Conclusion	Good The conclusion is strong and leaves the reader with a feeling that they understand what the writing is "getting at".	Fair The conclusion is not recognizable, but does not tie up several loose ends.	Poor There is no clear conclusion; the paper just ends.
