 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Actual & Alternate Narratives || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The actual and alternate narratives make several thoughtful connections to each other through the use of similar terminology (people, events, places, etc…)

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The actual narrative clearly and thoughtfully explains why the actual decision was significant.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The alternate narrative creatively and thoughtfully sketches an outcome that reveals the significance a different decision would have on history. || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The actual and alternate narratives make connections by the use of similar terminology (people, events, places, etc…); however some are deficient in clarity and/or thoughtfulness.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The actual narrative makes a superficial explanation regarding why the actual decision was significant. || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">No or very few connections are made between what actually happened and what might have happened; if there are attempts to make connections, most are very unclear.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The actual narrative does not explain why the actual decision and event was significant.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The alternate narrative sketches an outcome that does not seem much different than what happened or is completely unrealistic. As a result, it fails to accurately reveal the significance of the alternate decision. ||
