PPE specific expectations: Terminology must include specific concepts from the Constitution like separation of powers, federalism, commerce, or democratic principles like limited government, rule of law. You could reference or incorporate the theories on origins of the state, LOTUS topics, and fundamental concepts of democracy or sources of power. Power should be easy to connect as the Constitution establishes the power of government. There must also include a current event as an example. Include proper/complete bibliographic information. Point (in PPE) should be one sentence and identify a clear position on the ratification debate (so that we don’t have to guess). Proof should be the quote (or quotes) that will be used. Explain should clarify the position using both content and concepts. It will connect the quote to the point in a logical format that shows understanding through descriptions, examples, or explanation. The final grade will be out of 38. Scores will be calculated by taking the rubric value and multiplying it by six.
