Our College Autobiography Rubric

The successful essay will:

1.       Succeed in giving a quick but vivid impression of you as a person, as a student, and an achiever;
2.       Use striking language, sharp imagery, sentences that surprise with their originality and forcefulness of thought;
3.       Use compound and complex sentences (compound sentences: linking two sentences with "and," "but," and similar words; complex sentences: qualify sentences with clauses introduced with words like "while," "though," "after," "because," "although"I'll place a discussion of sentence types on the blog later today).

4.       Adhere to the conventions of grammar and spelling.
