Given the timed nature of the exam, essays may contain errors that do not detract from their overall quality, as long as the historical content used to advance the argument is accurate.  \n• Clarity: Exam essays should be considered first drafts and thus may contain grammatical errors. Those errors will not be counted against a student unless they obscure the successful demonstration of the content knowledge, skills, and practices described below.  \nEvaluate the extent to which commercial development changed United States society from 1800 to 1855.  \n\n| Reporting Category | Scoring Criteria |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Row A\u003Cbr>Thesis/Claim\u003Cbr>(0-1 points) | 0 points\u003Cbr>Does not meet the criteria for one point. | 1 point\u003Cbr>Responds to the prompt with a historically defensible thesis/claim that establishes aline of reasoning. |\n|  | Decision Rules and Scoring Notes |  |\n|  | Responses that do not earn this point:\u003Cbr>• Are not historically defensible.\u003Cbr>• Only restate or rephrase the prompt.\u003Cbr>• Do not respond to the prompt.\u003Cbr>• Do not establish a line of reasoning.\u003Cbr>• Are overgeneralized. | Responses that earn this point:\u003Cbr>Provide a historically defensible thesis or claim about how commercial development changed United States society from 1800 to 1855.
