Name: ________________________________	Meaning (20%) The extent to which the response exhibits sound understanding, interpretation, and analysis of the task and texts	Development (40%) The extent to which ideas are elaborated using specific and relevant evidence from the texts	Organization (20%) The extent to which the response exhibits direction, shape, and coherence	Language Use & Conventions The extent to which the response reveals awareness of audience through effective use of words, sentence structure and variety, spelling, punctuation and grammar.
Distinguished 19-20	-Provides a thoughtful and accurate thesis and clearly establishes the criteria for analysis -uses the criteria to make an insightful analysis of the texts	- develops ideas clearly and fully, making effective use of a wide range of specific evidence (2-3 examples per body paragraph) and appropriate literary elements	- maintains the focus established by the thesis - exhibit a logical and coherent structure through skillful use of appropriate devices and transitions	- stylistically sophisticated, using high level words with a notable awareness of audience, varies sentence structure - demonstrates control over conventions with almost no errors
Proficient 17-18	-provides an accurate thesis -uses the chosen criteria to analyze the texts	- develops ideas clearly and consistently using two relevant and specific examples per body paragraph - may make reference to appropriate literary elements	- maintains the focus established by the thesis - exhibit a logical sequence of ideas through use of appropriate devices and transitions	- takes risks with vocabulary, demonstrates awareness of audience, varies sentence structure, - demonstrates control over conventions with few errors
Satisfactory 15-16	-provides a simple, yet reasonable thesis - makes implicit connections between the criteria and the texts	- may develop some ideas more fully than others, with reference to specific and relevant evidence (at least 1 example per body paragraph) - may make reference to appropriate literary elements	- maintains a clear and appropriate focus - exhibit a logical sequence of ideas, but may lack transitions between paragraphs or internal consistency	Uses appropriate language, with some awareness of audience, occasionally makes effective use of sentence structure - demonstrates partial control over conventions, errors do not hinder comprehension
Unsatisfactory 0-14	- provides a confused or incomplete thesis or may not refer to it at all - reflects minimal or no analysis of the chosen texts - may not refer to the critical lens at all in the analysis of the texts	- develops ideas briefly, may rely primarily on plot summary - ideas might be incomplete, references to the text might be vague, irrelevant, repetitive or unjustified	- establishes, but fails to maintain, an appropriate focus - exhibit a rudimentary structure but may include some inconsistencies or irrelevancies - may show little or no focus or organization	- relies on basic vocabulary, with little awareness of audience - shows some attempt to vary sentence structure or length for effect, but with uneven success - demonstrates some control over conventions, some errors may hinder comprehension
