The response:<br />

Establishes a controlling idea that reveals an in-depth analysis of both texts, stating that as<br />

people move on in life … strong memories of their youth stay with them as adults. The response<br />

makes insightful connections between the controlling idea and the ideas in Passage I (Even as<br />

she admires California’s beauty, the author misses her former home) and Passage II (John … is<br />

creating the memories which will stay with him always).<br />

Develops ideas clearly and fully, making effective use of a wide range of relevant and specific<br />

evidence. The response discusses the author’s contrast of her present home with her childhood<br />

home in Passage I, which allows the author to reminisce about her childhood. For Passage II,<br />

the response emphasizes the author’s use of description and imagery that brings the reader into<br />

his “childhood place.”<br />

Maintains the focus on memories of childhood places established by the controlling idea. The<br />

response exhibits a logical and coherent structure, first discussing Passage I and an adult<br />

reminiscing about a childhood place and then contrasting that with a discussion of Passage II<br />

and a child creating future memories. Transitions and devices are skillfully used (Even living<br />

with, especially, not only … but also).<br />

Is stylistically sophisticated, using language that is precise and engaging (remembrance of one’s<br />

childhood and imparted to the reader), with a notable sense of voice and awareness of audience<br />

(allow the characters to share their experiences with the reader). Varied length of sentences<br />

enhances meaning (The author in these sections describes how a childhood home can never be<br />

replaced and Through revealing childhood memories … both characters convey messages<br />

about childhood places to the reader).<br />

Demonstrates control of the conventions with essentially no errors, even with sophisticated<br />

language.<br />

Conclusion: Overall, the response best fits the criteria for Level 6 in all qualities.<br />
