This is the link to my practice IOC
Criteria A - 5 - I showed adequate knowledge of the text by zooming in and out often. I also used quotes as much as I could to support my point or to make a point.
Criteria B -5 - There was some awareness of literary features, but the understandings on the reader were known.
Criteria C - 3 - The structure was generally organized, and mostly coherent. It was a tad jumpy but I went from point to point.
Criteria D - 4 - The register was appropriate, and effective for the task. The language is also clear, and appropriate for the given task.
Hey Sarah!
ReplyDeleteAlways remember to consider the effect each device or technique has on the passage (normally to establish or emphasize the “big idea”) as well as the effect it has on the reader (criteria B on the rubric). Remember to use TOPIC SENTENCES to guide your reader- these are necessary and missing from your commentary. Keep linking back to your thesis/the purpose of the passage!What are you trying to prove in your commentary? What’s a bigger idea (theme/motif/dichotomy) that this passage establishes? Power? Gender? Characterization? Knowing and stating that will help you not feel so overwhelmed and will also deter listing of techniques. You’ll only need to discuss techniques or devices that work to establish the “big idea” of the passage
A: 5
B: 4
C: 3
