 * 15 ** – The blog proves expertise on the topic; it is organized logically, with an interesting title, an introduction (hypothesis), a body (data that precisely supports the hypothesis), and a conclusion (restates the hypothesis and encourages readers to discuss further); the blog cites reliable resources used in data collection


 * 14-13 **– The blog would be a 15, but there are multiple minor mistakes

 * 11 **– The blog shows basic understanding of the topic; it lacks some organization, but contains a title, an introduction (hypothesis), a body (data that loosely supports the hypothesis and may have minor errors), a conclusion (that restates the hypothesis); the blog cites resources, but one or more are questionable


 * 10 **– The blog shows limited understanding of the topic; it is unorganized and lacks either a title, an introduction (hypothesis), a body (or contains a body with multiple errors and little data related to the hypothesis), or a conclusion (or conclusion is present but does not relate to the hypothesis); the blog’s citations are incomplete
