Topic clarity & focus	Poor There is no topic (main idea). It is simply a list of facts or events. Unclear and confusing to the reader.	Fair The topic (main idea) is difficult to figure out and most of the paper is unclear. Topic is too large. Some of the information does not relate to the topic.	Good There is a clear topic (main idea). It is not confusing or vague. The topic is fairly manageable; not too big.
