Not Meeting

Progressing
The student response shows little to no
effort at consistency or quality. Writing
may be full of numerous errors that
should have been mastered at previous
grade levels and/or typos.
The student meets less than two of the
exemplary criteria, identifies some
unsupported conclusions, and/or writing
shows signs of inconsistency and
sloppiness between group members and
responses.
Proficient
Student does not meet 1 or 2 of the
exemplary criteria but responses show
clear effort to strengthen the response
and support for arguments.
Exemplary

1.
make the evaluations flow smoothly
2.
organize the ideas to identify similarities that can be
addressed together and reduce repetition
3.

site. Quotes should be used for support most of the
time. Check for the teacher if you think you should
summarize evidence instead of quote.

capitalization, spelling, punctuation, and sentence
structure.
5.
