Anchor Paper – Document–Based Essay—Level 3 – C
Anchor Level 3-C
The response:
Develops all aspects of the task with little depth by explaining how steam-powered machinery
and the atomic bomb changed existing technology and discussing the impact of these new
technologies on Great Britain and the world
Is more descriptive than analytical (steam powered machinery: allowed people to do less work
and still get the job done; before workers forced to make everything by hand which took a
longer period of time and much more effort; factories opened in cities to accommodate the
workforce that could be used; work was hard and dangerous in factories; created many jobs;
atomic bomb: entire cities would be completely destroyed; results very deadly and destructive;
led to many conflicts between world powers)
Incorporates some relevant information from documents 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9
Incorporates limited relevant outside information (steam powered machinery: Industrial
Revolution; urbanization; dangerous for children to work in factories; dangerous working
conditions led to many new child labor laws; atomic bomb: Cold War; Cuban missile crisis;
United States worried that Cuba had weapons)
Includes some relevant facts, examples, and details (steam powered machinery: many women
and children went to work in factories; increase in production of coal and cotton; railroads built
to transport materials; atomic bomb: bomb at Hiroshima killed or injured almost one-half of the
population; United States and Russia have huge stockpile of dangerous weapons); includes
some inaccuracies (steam powered machinery: child labor laws of the 1930s and 1940s; atomic
bomb: before its creation, only houses and a few buildings would be ruined or crumbled)
Demonstrates a satisfactory plan of organization; includes an introduction and a conclusion that
are a restatement of the theme
Conclusion: Overall, the response fits the criteria for Level 3. Outside information and document
information are woven into the narrative. The inclusion of some analytical statements adds to the
discussion. However, the response includes several broad generalizations and misinterprets the
information in Document 7.
