During dinner last night, your mom announces that her company is expanding and has offered her a significant salary increase to move and work in the offices located in China. Knowing how much you love studying social studies, your mom asks you to investigate the benefits and drawbacks of the two governments (American democracy and Chinese communism). She would like you to determine whether the family should relocate to China or remain in the United States, then write a formal paper stating your point of view supported with a counter-argument, reasoning, evidence, and citations. Your mom wants to reference your paper in her meeting with her boss as she provides her decision.

3. Create a Scoring Guide for each Task• Use specific, observable, and measurable criteria in a

language that is easily understood by all• Match criteria directly to what the task requires and reflect on the students’ degree of proficiency relative to the priority/ supporting standards• Use both qualitative and quantitative rubrics• Begin by defining criteria for Proficient first, then Advanced, Progressing and Beginning

Qualitative CriteriaQualitative CriteriaTask 1: After reading the three articles, create a chart listing the benefits and drawbacks of American Democracy and Chinese Communism. Be sure to examine the social, political and economic aspects for both.
