This document provides a rubric for assessing a supply and demand comic assignment. The rubric evaluates students on content, analysis, synthesis, and demonstrating competency. For strong performance, the comic would use in-depth content terms and facts to effectively answer the essential question. It would include a logical analysis and use most key terms in an effective structure. The illustration would demonstrate an effective grasp of the target competency. Proficient and basic performance are also described.
