2. Look at Transformation Paper Rubric
3. Test Yourself - Grade these papers with a partner using the 1 - 6 scale

Include reasons from the rubric and explain where in your essay you show this.
Example:
Score 5
My essay is strong, but not superior, because I show clear ideas from all 4 authors, give examples in every paragraph, and have strong organization. I may have some grammar mistakes and I didn't understand Thoreau as much as I wanted to. My example on Ghandi and how he connects to the current day peaceful protesters is my strongest point. Another weak point is my conclusion since I don't know what I want to say exactly, but my tone is confident.
Tips for Transformation Paper:
Make sure your paper....
- is titled: Per Name Civil Disobedience or Transformational Thinking
- Make sure you have headers and a title on the actual paper
