Thesis and Argument Development (2 points) Targeted Skill: Argumentation (E1, E4, and C1)  \n1 point Presents a thesis that makes a historically defensible claim and responds to all parts of the question. The thesis must consist of one or more sentences located in one place, either in the introduction or the conclusion.  \nScoring Note: Neither the introduction nor the conclusion is necessarily limited to a single paragraph.  \n1 point Develops and supports a cohesive argument that recognizes and accounts for historical complexity by explicitly illustrating relationships among historical evidence such as contradiction, corroboration, and/or qualification.  \n0 points Neither presents a thesis that makes a historically defensible claim and responds to all parts of the question nor develops and supports a cohesive argument that recognizes and accounts for historical complexity.  \n-- Is completely blank  \nB. Document Analysis (2 points)  \nTargeted Skill: Analyzing Evidence: Content and Sourcing (A1 and A2) and  \nArgumentation (E2)  \n1 point Utilizes the content of at least six of the documents to support the stated thesis or a relevant argument.  \n1 point Explains the significance of the author’s point of view, author’s purpose, historical context, and/or audience for at least four documents.  \n0 points Neither utilizes the content of at least six of the documents to support the stated thesis or a relevant argument nor explains the significance of the author’s point of view, author’s purpose, historical context, and/or audience for at least four documents.  \n-- Is completely blank  \nQuestion 1 – Document-Based Question (continued)  \nC. Using Evidence Beyond the Documents (2 points)  \nTargeted Skill: Contextualization (C3) and Argumentation (E3)  \nContextualization  \n1 point Situates the argument by explaining the broader historical events, developments, or processes immediately relevant to the question.  \n0 points Does not situate the argument by explaining the broader historical events, developments, or processes immediately relevant to the question.  \nScoring Note: Contextualization requires using knowledge not found in the documents to situate the argument within broader historical events, developments, or processes immediately relevant to the question. The contextualization point is not awarded for merely a phrase or reference, but instead requires an explanation, typically consisting of multiple sentences or a full paragraph.  \nEvidence Beyond the Documents  \n1 point Provides an example or additional piece of specific evidence beyond those found in the documents to support or qualify the argument.  \n0 points Does not provide an example or additional piece of specific evidence beyond those found in the documents to support or qualify the argument.  \n-- Is completely blank  \nScoring Notes:  \n• This example must be different from the evidence used to earn other points on this rubric.  \n• This point is not awarded for merely a phrase or reference. Responses need to reference an  \nadditional piece of specific evidence and explain how that evidence supports or qualifies the argument.  \nD. Synthesis (1 point)  \nTargeted Skill: Synthesis (C4 or C5)  \n1 point Extends the argument by explaining the connections between the argument and one of the following.  \na) A development in a different historical period, situation, era, or geographical area.  \nb) A course theme and/or","cbCaivdMXFMy9fT9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivdMXFMy9fT9","pdf",8248327,34,"English","# Question 1 – Document-Based Question\n## A.
