rubric+B

Rrevised; the formatting of MS Word is not properly retained in the wiki-paste versions, so it is neater than the version below. Also, the nice-to-have specificity we were told to admire is still not yet present, if anyone care. Adding it would require eliminating the redundancy inherent in the horizontal format, I think, to avoid busy layout and tiny-font syndrome. **Grade 10 Civics: Town Hall Meeting and Letter to the Editor**
