Little Success (1-2)

These essays demonstrate minimal understanding of the topic or the passage.
Inconsistent/Limited (5)

Essays that earn a medium score complete the essay task, but with no special insights; the analysis lacks depth and merely states the obvious. Frequently, the ideas are predictable and the paragraph development weak. Although the writing conveys the writer's ideas, they are presented simplistically and often contain lapses in diction or syntax.
Adequate (6-7)

Medium-scoring essays complete the tasks of the essay topic well - they show some insight but usually with less precision and clarity than high-scoring essays.
Effective (8-9)

High-scoring essays thoroughly address all the tasks of the essay prompt in well-organized responses. Overall, high-scoring essays present thoroughly developed, intelligent ideas; sound and logical organization; strong evidence; and articulate diction.
Style 10points

Little Success (1-2)

Perhaps unfinished, these essays offer no analysis of the passage and little or no evidence for the student's ideas. Incorrect assertions may be made about the passage.
Inconsistent/Limited (5)

Although the writing conveys the writer's ideas, they are presented simplistically and often contain lapses in diction or syntax.
Adequate (6-7)

There may be lapses in correct diction or sophisticated language, but the essay is generally well written.
Effective (8-9)

The writing demonstrates stylistic sophistication and control over the elements of effective writing, although it is not necessarily faultless.
Organization--25 points

Thesis and support--40 points

Little Success (1-2)

Analysis demonstrates little ability to identify or analyze rhetorical strategies, and purpose. Sometimes these essays misread the prompt and replace it with easier tasks, such as paraphrasing the authors or listing some strategies the author uses.
Inconsistent/Limited (5)

Rhetorical analysis essays demonstrate uneven or insufficient understanding of how rhetorical strategies create an author's point. Often, the writer merely lists what he or she observes in the passage instead of analyzing effect.
Adequate (6-7)

Rhetorical analysis essays demonstrate sufficient examination of the author's point and the rhetorical strategies he uses to enhance the central idea.
Effective (8-9)

Rhetorical analysis essays demonstrate significant understanding of the passage, its intent, and the rhetorical strategies the author employs.
