Did I summarize and evaluate how modern globalization is the result of a process of specialization and trade that began at least 8,000 years ago?

In this assignment, you will revise and fine-tune your essay summarizing and evaluating how modern globalization is the result of a process of specialization and trade that began at least 8,000 years ago. In addition, you will revise and fine-tune your predictions about the future of globalization based on historical evidence.

The first step in the revision process is to revisit your original assignment. You were asked to write an explanatory essay summarizing and evaluating how modern globalization is the result of a process of specialization and trade that began at least 8,000 years ago. You were also asked to predict the future of globalization. An explanatory essay provides an explanation of a particular viewpoint or event. The goal of an explanatory essay is to educate the reader, not to share your own opinions. An explanatory essay should also be unbiased.

Reread your essay and ask yourself the following questions:

1. Did I include an introduction paragraph, body paragraphs, and a conclusion?
2. Is my essay objective (based on fact, not opinion)?
3. Did I summarize and evaluate how modern globalization is the result of a process of specialization and trade that began at least 8,000 years ago?
4. Did I provide a prediction about the future of globalization?
5. Did I use unbiased historical evidence?
6. Did I provide complete citations in MLA format for the evidence that I used?

If you answered no (or even “sort of”) to any of the questions above, it’s time to go back and revise your essay. You should also make sure that you review the scoring rubric below. These are the guidelines that your teacher will use to score your essay.

When you have completed your revisions, submit your essay to your teacher for scoring.
