Grade Commentary

Jessie has an understanding of genre and an awareness of essay structure. Techniques and plot have been combined and a range of views and generalisations have been presented. Textual analysis is most confidently applied to the related text.

The structure is methodical but more descriptive than analytical at times. The ideas would benefit from greater synthesis to produce a more holistic response.

Jessie’s response demonstrates characteristics typically produced by a student performing at a Grade B standard midway through Stage 5.
