�Focus��

1.5�

This�student�addresses�the�prompt�but�with�a�weak�focus.��It�appears�that�there�is�a�restating�of�the�Hero�Journey�monomyth�literary�theory�with�a�smattering�of�random�passages�from�Great�Expectations�thrown�into�the�response.�More�connection�between�passages�and�theory�is�needed�to�show�that�this�student�understands�the�task.�

�Reading/Research��

1�

There�is�an�attempt�to�present�information�in�response�to�the�prompt͕�but��the�essay�does�not�have�a�strong�connection�to�the�prompt�or�relevancy�to�the�purpose�of�the�prompt.��There�is�no�correct�citing�of�sources�and�there��is�no�defining�of�an�archetype.�

Controlling�Idea��

1��

There�is�a�weak�attempt�at�establishing�a�controlling�idea͕�but�there�is�a�lack�of�clear�purpose.��There�is�no�citing�of�specific�textual�evidence�to�support�conclusions�that�are�drawn.�

�Development��

1�

The�providing�of�details�is�very�weak�with�no�sufficient�development�or�relevancy.�Also,�there�if�no�citing�of�specific�textual�evidence.�The�writing�consists�primarily��of�a�list�of�the�positions�of�a�literary�theory�with�minor�references�to�the�novel.�

�Organization��

2��

There�is�an�appropriate�organizational�structure�that�addresses�the�specific�requirements�of�the�prompt�with�satisfactory�but�obvious�transitions.��However,�consolidation�of�important�information,�relevant�to�the�task,�is�missing.��

�Conventions��

2�There�is�an�attempt�of�demonstrate�standard�English�conventions͕�but�there�is�a�lack�of�control�in�such�misusages�as�“kinda”�for�“kind�of”�and�“gonna”�for��“going�to.”�The�length�and�complexity�of�the�piece�is�limited.�

Content�Understanding� 1�

There�is�an�attempt�to�include�disciplinary�content,�but�the�understanding�is�weak.��More�needs�to�be�presented�in�the�way�of�explanation�to�demonstrate�that�there�is,�indeed,�an�understanding�of�the�task.���

Focus� 2�This�student�addresses�the�prompt�appropriately͕�but�has�an�uneven�focus.��While�each�stage�of�the�Hero�Journey�needs�more�explanation,�there�is�a�particular�weakness�in�the�brevity�of�the�conclusion.�

�Reading/Research��

2�

The�information�that�is�presented�is�relevant�to�the�prompt�with�lapses�in�completeness.�There�is�a�defining�of�an�archetype�and�some�explanation�of�the�Hero�Journey�as�evidenced�in�Great�Expectations͕�but�the�evidence�of�any�research�is�weakened�by�the�lack�of�specific�textual�evidence.�

�Controlling�Idea��

2�This�student�does�establish�a�controlling�idea͕�which�is�manifested�in�the�introductory�paragraphs͕�but�the�purpose�is�general.��This�general�aspect�prevails�throughout�the�response.�There�is�an�explanation�of�an�archetype.��

�Development��

2�

Some�appropriate�details�are�included�to�support�the�focus�and�the�controlling�idea͕�but�much�more�would�be�required�to�present�a�thorough�response.�The�reader�needs�to�know�how�the�hero�is�impacted,�not�just�that�he�is.��Examples�of�what�help�the�hero�needs�from�society�are�required�rather�than�just�the�statement�that�society�must�help.��The�reader�would�also�need�to�know�what�was�learned�from�experiences�rather�than�a�statement�saying�the�hero�learned�from�experience.�The�essay�leaves�too�many�questions�unanswered.��
