Commentary
The response:
Conveys a confused understanding of the text (Every bill or coin in the U.S has somebody that
has accomplished something on it). The response alludes to the text, but makes unclear
connections to the assigned task (Money is very ancient and it gives symbolic value).
Is largely undeveloped, hinting at ideas, but references to the text are vague (as they said in the
story) or unjustified (Every bill or coin in the U.S has somebody … it).
Lacks an appropriate focus but suggests some organization with the use of paragraphs.
Uses language that is imprecise (Money is very ancient … it gives symbolic value and kind of
like). The response reveals little awareness of how to use sentences to achieve an effect.
Demonstrates partial control, exhibiting occasional errors in punctuation (new modern money,
ancient as they, story it gives, U.S) that do not hinder comprehension.
Conclusion: Overall, the response best fits the criteria for Level 2, although it is somewhat
stronger in conventions.
