Addresses all the tasks
Low Score (1-2)
These essays demonstrate minimal understanding of the topic or the passage.
Medium-Low Score (3-4)
These essays are weaker than the 5 score because the writer overlooks or perhaps misreads important ideas in the passage.
Medium Score (5)
Essays that earn a medium score complete the essay task, but with no special insights; the analysis lacks depth and merely states the obvious. Frequently, the ideas are predictable and the paragraph development weak. Although the writing conveys the writer's ideas, they are presented simplistically and often contain lapses in diction or syntax.
Medium-High Score (6-7)
Medium-scoring essays complete the tasks of the essay topic well - they show some insight but usually with less precision and clarity than high-scoring essays.
High Score (8-9)
High-scoring essays thoroughly address all the tasks of the essay prompt in well-organized responses. Overall, high-scoring essays present thoroughly developed, intelligent ideas; sound and logical organization; strong evidence; and articulate diction.
Writing
Low Score (1-2)
Perhaps unfinished, these essays offer no analysis of the passage and little or no evidence for the student's ideas. Incorrect assertions may be made about the passage.
Medium-Low Score (3-4)
The student may summarize the passage's ideas instead of analyzing them.
Medium Score (5)
Although the writing conveys the writer's ideas, they are presented simplistically and often contain lapses in diction or syntax.
Medium-High Score (6-7)
There may be lapses in correct diction or sophisticated language, but the essay is generally well written.
High Score (8-9)
The writing demonstrates stylistic sophistication and control over the elements of effective writing, although it is not necessarily faultless.
Conventions
Low Score (1-2)
Stylistically, these essays may show consistent grammatical problems, and sentence structure is usually simple and unimaginative.
Medium-Low Score (3-4)
Although the writer's ideas are generally understandable, the control of language is often immature.
Medium Score (5)
Although the writing conveys the writer's ideas, they are presented simplistically and often contain lapses in diction or syntax.
Medium-High Score (6-7)
Presents thoroughly developed, intelligent ideas; sound and logical organization; strong evidence; and articulate diction.
High Score (8-9)
Overall, high-scoring essays present thoroughly developed, intelligent ideas; sound and logical organization; strong evidence; and articulate diction.
Rhetorical Analysis
Low Score (1-2)
Rhetorical analysis essays demonstrate little ability to identify or analyze rhetorical strategies. Sometimes these essays misread the prompt and replace it with easier tasks, such as paraphrasing the passage or listing some strategies the author uses.
Medium-Low Score (3-4)
Rhetorical analysis essays demonstrate little discussion of rhetorical strategies or incorrect identification and/or analysis of those strategies.
Medium Score (5)
Rhetorical analysis essays demonstrate uneven or insufficient understanding of how rhetorical strategies create an author's point. Often, the writer merely lists what he or she observes in the passage instead of analyzing effect.
Medium-High Score (6-7)
Rhetorical analysis essays demonstrate sufficient examination of the author's point and the rhetorical strategies he uses to enhance the central idea.
High Score (8-9)
Rhetorical analysis essays demonstrate significant understanding of the passage, its intent, and the rhetorical strategies the author employs.
