Your paragraph does not have a clear argument. There is not
enough analysis or examples from the text. You have not
unpacked and understood what the question is asking. There are
gaps in your understanding of the text. There are many errors in
your expression and choice of vocabulary.
Although the examples you have chosen connect to the question
being asked your overall argument is not always clear. You have
not addressed all aspects of the question. There is some, but not
enough, analysis. There needs to be more examples from the text
to more successfully support your ideas. You have not made use
of the vocabulary learnt in class. There are many errors in your
writing.
Your paragraph has a clear line of argument that responds well
the question, but needs to be connected more closely with the
‘big ideas’ in the text. You have supported your ideas with
evidence from the text. You have included some quotes that are
incorporated into your sentences. You have shown an ability to
analyse the text for meaning, using mainly examples that have
been discussed in class. Your writing and choice of words
expresses a clear understanding of the vocabulary studied in
class. Your writing is mainly fluent and adheres to the
conventions of the style.
Your paragraph provides a clear line of argument using ‘big
ideas’ and concepts and takes into consideration all parts of the
question. There are many, (four or more) examples to support
your ideas. You use quotes and they are incorporated into your
sentences with the correct punctuation. You showed a
sophisticated level of analysis and original and insightful ideas
showing a clever insight of the text. Your writing draws a clear
conclusion. Your vocabulary is appropriate and sophisticated,
using words we have explored in class as well and synonyms for
those words. Your writing is fluent and adheres to the
conventions of the style.
