Part 2/17:
The speaker references a rubric for essay writing that is available online, designed to guide students through the complex process of writing. Unfortunately, due to technical hiccups, the rubric wasn't accessible on the ideal course website but remains available on another platform. The core idea, however, remains: teaching students to craft well-structured essays involves breaking down the writing process step-by-step, which mirrors the process of critical thinking—analyzing, organizing, and articulating ideas coherently.
