Commentary
The response:
Conveys a confused and incomplete understanding of the texts (they learned and experienced
new things outside what you would of called there world which wasn’t much). The response
makes a few connections to Passage I but fails to establish a controlling idea, only noting that
the passages were very simular.
Is incomplete and largely undeveloped, hinting at ideas, but references to the text are vague
(When he came back home … everything was back to normal where he wasn’t all grown up and
he was in the same type of situation where he learned knew things).
Lacks an appropriate focus but suggests some organization (Both passages, The first passage is
about, The other story).
Uses language that is imprecise for the audience and purpose (A guy … learning and feeling the
experiences of the city life is like). The response reveals little awareness of how to use sentences
to achieve an effect (Where he wasn’t the adult).
Demonstrates emerging control, exhibiting occasional errors in punctuation (college learning,
home though where, farming everything), grammar (guy … learn and would of called), and a
lack of paragraphing that hinder comprehension.
Conclusion: Overall, the response best fits the criteria for Level 2, although it is somewhat
stronger in conventions.
