Commentary
The response:
Provides a simple interpretation of the critical lens that suggests some criteria for analysis
(when a person does not want to or dosen’t think they can they are). The response makes
superficial connections to Romeo and Juliet (they were heroes by the chance of what they did)
and any one of the Sherlock Holmes stories.
Is incomplete and largely undeveloped. The response makes vague references to Romeo and
Juliet (they carried on following their dreams and by the actions they took to overcome the
troubles they had) and very general references to Sherlock Holmes (He likes helping people).
Establishes, but fails to maintain, an appropriate focus. The response exhibits a rudimentary
structure but shifts from the focus in the third paragraph and in the conclusion.
Relies on basic vocabulary that is sometimes imprecise (in their own way and could be one by
want). The response exhibits some attempt to vary sentence structure and length for effect, but
with uneven success (I agree with this statement because … they are and Romeo and Juliet …
sense).
Demonstrates emerging control, exhibiting occasional errors in spelling (dosen’t, declaired,
desirs), punctuation (heroes but, want its, chance not), and grammar (a person … they, could be
considered heroes … as can, I believes) that hinder comprehension.
Conclusion: Overall, the response best fits the criteria for Level 3, although it is somewhat weaker
in development.
