iRubric: Blending Quotations rubric

For each quotation used student provides a brief, yet concise, context/summary in order to orient the reader. Student's writing reflects the common courtesy that readers may not be familiar with the work and sufficiently orients reader with the text without overly summarizing.

Student provides overly wordy context, some parts of the writing read like a lengthy summary rather than a concise glimpse of the events needed to understand his/her analysis.

Student either does not provide context or he/she wastes the reader's time with too much summarization. Instead of just familiarizing reader with a concise background they retell much of the story.
