Practice Paper C—Score Level 1<br />

The response:<br />

Minimally develops some aspects of the task by mentioning how the printing press changed<br />

existing technology <strong>and</strong> mentioning the impact of the printing press <strong>and</strong> steam-powered<br />

machinery on the world<br />

Is descriptive; lacks application <strong>and</strong> analysis (printing press: allowed books to be published at<br />

an astoundingly increased rate; without it, Protestant movement would have failed thus altering<br />

the world we live in today; without the Gutenberg press, we may not have invented computers)<br />

Incorporates limited relevant information from documents 1, 2, 3, <strong>and</strong> misinterprets documents<br />

5 <strong>and</strong> 6<br />

Presents no relevant outside information<br />

Includes few relevant facts, examples, <strong>and</strong> details (printing press: took years to write a single<br />

draft of a short book); includes inaccuracies (without the invention of the steam engine, we<br />

might still be working twenty-hour shifts in uncomfortable factories; agricultural growth would<br />

never have taken off)<br />

Demonstrates a weakness in organization; lacks an introduction <strong>and</strong> a formal conclusion<br />

although the last sentence refers to the helpful benefits of the printing press <strong>and</strong> the steam<br />

engine<br />

Conclusion: Overall, the response fits the criteria for Level 1. The information presented to explain<br />

the printing press documents is limited to a few general statements. The references to the steam<br />

engine are weak, especially in the interpretation of document 6. Only one graph in document 5<br />

refers to agricultural growth. The response fails to develop the overall sense of this document.<br />
