PARAGRAPHS: The student has provided a context statement for the text – one sentence that suggests the core themes, issues and ideas, historical context or composer’s context for the text in the context of your study?

Begins sentence with quotes. Technique discussion is repetitive and restated Minimal discussion or identification of techniques- presents a series of statements with no textual evidence No identification of techniques PARAGRAPHS: Demonstrates how the next sentence or two sentences presented a succinct analysis of how the techniques chosen present evidence that supports the thesis presented by the Sophisticated and insightful - analysis that explicitly uses the evidence to support the argument and sustain the thesis offered for this text. Appropriate – analysis is present but may not be sophisticated or insightful Some evidence of analysis but has weaknesses and does not present a clear link to any argument.
