Commentary
The response:
Conveys a confused and incomplete understanding of the texts. While the response attempts to
establish a controlling idea (Through out childhood there are many things that you see or do
that you remember for the rest of your life), only brief and unsupported connections are made to
one passage.
Is incomplete and largely undeveloped. The response is based on personal information and on
references to the texts that are unjustified (In passage One the girl remembers a place in
Georgia … she could sit outside and watch the morning fog roll over the mountains and In
passage two a girl remembers a place she loved, it was a big tree).
Suggests a focus on childhood memories and suggests organization through paragraphing. The
response attempts in the single body paragraph to connect Passages I and II to a personal
recollection (Unlike passage one and two I go to my place every year).
Relies on basic vocabulary, with little awareness of audience and purpose (Me, My Dad, and
Brother have still been going there every summer). The response exhibits some attempt to vary
sentence structure or length for effect, but with uneven success (I passage one she moved away
and two the tree got struck by lightning).
Demonstrates partial control, exhibiting occasional errors in spelling (happend, durring, untill),
punctuation (Maryland when I was younger, When we went we had, its usually), and
capitalization (Me, My Mom, Dad, and Brother) that do not hinder comprehension.
Conclusion: Overall, the response best fits the criteria for Level 2, although it is somewhat
stronger in language use and conventions.
