Social Science Essay Directions/Rubric
Note: Essays MUST follow the proper social science format as articulated below:
Step 1: Write a single THESIS PARAGRAPH: (30 Points)
*All of these parts must be included in a single thesis or introductory paragraph:
A. (3 points) SET THE CONTEXT by explaining the political, economic and social history
surrounding the topic/issue question. Be sure to use historically accurate specific examples
and restate in your own words the specific topic/issue question (don’t parrot) (3-5 complete
sentences).
Ask yourself:
 Does my paragraph begin with detailed historically accurate context associated with
the topic question?
B. (2 points) COMPLEXITY: Show understanding of OTHER POINTS OF VIEW to the
issue AND include EXAMPLES (use specific Taking Sides authors whenever possible). (2-4
complete sentences)
Ask yourself:
 Does my paragraph provide complexity which articulates opposing viewpoints such
as both Taking Sides author’s POV separately?
C. (10 points) THESIS STATEMENT SENTENCE: Clearly state your own opinion about the
topic/issue question by take declarative position, backed up with a well-reasoned
“BECAUSE” three part rationale. (Your thesis should always be a complex sentence.)
(AGREE BECAUSE WHY or DISAGREE BECAUSE WHY). Must be a single complete
sentence only and your thesis sentence MUST be underlined! Do not use first person or use
qualifier or transitional words or phrases to begin your thesis (I believe. . ; Although . . ; On
the other hand . . , ECT.) The thesis statement is the most important part of the essay as it is
what you are going to prove and it must be able to be lifted out of the essay and stand on its
own as a declarative statement. Never use or refer to secondary sources or quote in your
thesis as it should be all you.
Ask yourself:
 Does the paragraph contain an underlined Opinion- Because-3 Part Rational that does
not contain 1st person references; states the author’s own opinion; contains a complex
rational that can easily be expanded into three sub topics?
D. (15 points) THREE SUBTOPICS: Sometimes called the essay map. After your underlined
thesis statement write “There are three main reasons that support this position.” Then,
using structural indicators (first, second, finally) provide THREE single sentence subtopics
that are each direct extensions of a portion of the thesis three part thesis rational. Each single
sentences subtopic, derived from a portion of the thesis rational MUST demonstrate how or
why the subtopic proves a portion of the three part thesis rational.
 “First” Subtopic 1: An ANALYSIS and/or EVALUATION topic that PROVES a major
part of your main thesis rational (remember to show or say HOW/WHY).
 “Second” Subtopic 2: An ANALYSIS and/or EVALUATION topic that PROVES a
major part of your main thesis rational (remember to show or say HOWWHY).
 “Finally” Subtopic 3: An ANALYSIS and/or EVALUATION topic that PROVES a
major part of your main thesis (remember to show or say HOW/WHY).
 Each subtopic is worth up to 5 points.
 Do not use first person, quote or use secondary sources. Subtopics are all you.
 Each subtopic will then be used as a topic sentence for the three body paragraphs.
Ask yourself:
 Is the sub topic identified by structural indicators; does it clearly demonstrate
how/why it proves a portion of the thesis rational; is the ST historically accurate?;
does not contain vague/generalized statements?
Step 2: Write Three SEPARATE BODY PARAGRAPHS: (66 points)
For each of the three Body Paragraphs:
 (2 points) TOPIC SETENCE: Restate the SUBTOPIC sentence from the thesis essay map
as a topic sentence.
Ask yourself:
 Does the topic sentence restate subtopic 2, taken directly for the thesis paragraph
essay map and does the subtopic clearly demonstrate support for a portion of the
thesis rational?

 (10 points) EXAMPLES: Provide At least 3 SPECIFIC EXAMPLES: events, people, acts,
policies, etc. (Note: the number of examples depends on the amount of time and the number
of body paragraphs OR what the question specifically calls for) Identify and give the
significance for each specific example by providing RELEVANT DETAILS about each
example that support the Subtopic (a well-developed sentence or two on each example is
generally sufficient). Quoting secondary sources is not providing examples. However,
quoting primary sources as evidence is acceptable and encouraged.
Ask yourself:
 Does the body paragraph include at least 3 specific examples that are clearly
identified and linked to analysis that works to prove the topic sentence? Does the
paragraph AVOID using secondary source quotes as evidence?
 (10 Points) ANALYSIS: Provide at least 2-3 well developed sentences of ANALYSIS and/or
EVALUATION for each example that explains HOW/WHY the examples support/prove
the Subtopic. Do not quote secondary sources. Your analysis should be your own, not
someone else’s opinions. (Note: more analysis never hurts!)
 Repeat for subsequent Body Paragraphs
Ask yourself:
 Does the body paragraph contain detailed analysis linked to specific examples; is the
analysis provided original and not based on secondary sources?
Step 3: CONCLUSION PARAGRAPH: (4 points)
 RESTATE Main Thesis & Sub Points
 (Explain how you have PROVED your thesis via your evidence and analysis despite the
other points of view on the subject.)
 BIG PICTURE: ANALYZE and/or EVALUATE how your essay fits into the BIG
PICTURE QUESTION of History
Ask yourself:
 Does the conclusion articulate how/why the essay proved the thesis?
