The response:
Provides no evidence of textual understanding beyond that found in the prompt. The response
consists of personal reactions.
Is minimal, offering primarily a personal response.
Suggests a focus (the history of the type of music that they are listening to, or the history of
these instruments) and suggests some organization (For Example).
Relies on basic vocabulary that is occasionally imprecise (Music come second in Americans
past time), with little awareness of audience and purpose. The response exhibits some attempt
to vary sentence structure, but with uneven success (For Example, the electric guitar, its widely
used and popurel world wide).
Demonstrates emerging control, exhibiting occasional errors in spelling (past time, apeciciate,
popurel), punctuation (time, television; guitar, its; wide. In), and grammar (world use
instrument) that occasionally hinder comprehension.
Conclusion: Although the response fits the criteria for Levels 1, 2, and 3, it remains at Level 1
because the response makes no reference to the text.
