SENIOR ENGLISH LITERARY PAPER RUBRIC 
This rubric is used as a scoring tool for the Senior English Literary Research Paper. Because research paper assessments are both objective and subjective, this detailed rubric will assure that a certain level of objectivity is maintained. As a result, learners are more clear about the expectations prior to assessment and are clear about their areas of weakness and strength after the assessment.
