The response:
Conveys a basic understanding of the text by stating that the electric guitar was designed to
make the music loader and produced something new and worthwhile. The response makes
few connections between information and ideas in the text and the assigned task (the electric
guitar was no longer shameful but the symbol of American music).
Develops ideas briefly, using some details from the text (Jimmi Hendrix brought back the
flying V, Bob Dylon … tried spreading his folk blues via the electric guitar, Thanks to
Vanhallen heavy metal was also introduced to the world).
Establishes an appropriate focus on the invention of the electric guitar and the resulting
whole new sound. The response exhibits a rudimentary structure, including an opening
paragraph, one body paragraph of loosely related ideas, and a conclusion.
Uses appropriate language that is sometimes inexact (The electric guitar had a tough rocky
kickstart), with some awareness of purpose (Although looked down upon for quite some time,
it eventually became the standard). The response occasionally makes effective use of
sentence length (A whole new sound came about from this invention).
Demonstrates partial control, exhibiting frequent errors in spelling (soly, loader, innvention,
complecations, acustic, disstortion, Prodemetly) and occasional errors in punctuation (looks
some and sound but) that do not hinder comprehension.
Conclusion: Overall, the response best fits the criteria for Level 3, although it is somewhat
stronger in language use and conventions.
