    This rubric evaluates primary source essays on three criteria: content, context, and significance. For full marks, the essay must demonstrate a clear understanding of the source's content and context by discussing relevant historical events, people, concepts, and movements. It must also show a sophisticated understanding of why the source's themes are historically important and what they reveal about the period. Lower marks are given for vague, limited, or poor understanding in these three areas.
