The executive summary rubric evaluates student summaries on three criteria: essential content, organization, and written form. For essential content, advanced summaries identify all key concepts and only include supporting details if essential to the summary. For organization, advanced summaries logically sequence ideas using transitions between points. For written form, advanced summaries demonstrate clear, expressive writing with varied sentences, few errors, and specific vocabulary.
