In a 4-point Rubric, which weighs heavier on your score: grammar or explanations?
Explanations
The main body of a summary consists of:
The main points from the text.

EXAMPLE

EXPLANATION
The minimum number of paragraphs an essay can have could be
*Answers vary
If only 1 example, 1 evidence and 1 explanation are provided the student can get NO HIGHER than a
1
In your own words, explain the difference between a level 3 and a level 4 score on the context and analysis section.
Level 4:
- writing style draws the reader in on topic sentence
- explanations are insightful and compelling
Level 3
- writer introduces the topic that address the prompt (lack pizazz)
-analysis ties key vocab word back to examples and claims
The conclusion in a summary should mirror
the claim ( or first sentence).
The minimum number of quote sandwiches in a short constructed response would be:
2
Example 1
Evidence 1
Explanation 1
Example 2
Evidence 2
Explanation 2
Each claim sentence in the main body should be mentioned in the
Thesis

ONE or ZERO
*depending*
If the text asks you to pull from lines 30-49 and you pull evidence from line 15, your score can be NO HIGHER than a
ONE
Three examples of transition words not commonly used include:
*Answers may vary
