Sample 2 Scores: 2/2/2
Dana starts the article by presenting positive information on how our society is advancing, only to find that we’re actually losing interest in literature. He backs up this accusation by using a survey from 2002. In this survey Dana mentions that the decline of interest is mainley in younger adults. Throughout the passage he uses the findings of meny National Associations to show that these young adults won’t be able to land jobs due to their lack of reading and appreciation of the arts. Then he transitions into how society as a whole will become more free, innovative, and productive through reading alone. Gioia uses evidense found in surveys, polls, and other articles to support his arguement. He seamlessly moves to his next idea while still supporting al of his previous claims. The level of writing shows he is skilled at persuading, for he connects to the reader through a very concerning topic, education.
This paper scored a 2/2/2.
Reading—2: This response demonstrates limited comprehension of Gioia’s text. The writer does demonstrate an understanding of Gioia’s central ideas: our society is actually losing interest in literature and society as a whole will become more free, innovative, and productive through reading. However, the writer provides little evidence of understanding the details Gioia provides to support these claims. The writer does briefly mention the 2002 survey Gioia cites and also vaguely refers to Gioia’s use of the findings of meny National Associations and evidence from surveys, polls, and other articles, but neglects to effectively summarize or quote from these pieces of evidence. Although there are no errors of interpretation or fact in the essay, this incomplete understanding demonstrates only partially successful reading comprehension.
Analysis—2: The writer demonstrates a partial understanding of the analytical task by offering limited analysis of the source text. The writer does identify in a general way the kinds of evidence Gioia draws on (for example, surveys, polls, and other articles) but fails to analyze how these pieces of evidence work to support Gioia’s argument. When the writer attempts to describe how Gioia builds his argument, the writer merely praises, rather than explains, the structure of Gioia’s text (He seamlessly moves to his next idea while still supporting al of his previous claims). The writer compliments Gioia’s argumentation (The level of writing shows he is skilled at persuading, for he connects to the reader through a very concerning topic, education), but does not, for example, explain how or why Gioia is able to connect to the reader. Overall, this response demonstrates only partially successful analysis.
Writing—2: This response demonstrates limited cohesion and writing skill. The response lacks a clear central claim or controlling idea. Although the writer does end the essay with a summary sentence (The level of writing shows he is skilled at persuading, for he connects to the reader through a very concerning topic, education), the response does not include a true introduction or conclusion to frame the discussion. The response does demonstrate some progression of ideas; however, given that the response is only one paragraph long, this progression is demonstrated on a very limited scale. Although the writer displays relatively good control of language and vocabulary, there simply is not enough text here to assess the ability to organize ideas or paragraphs. For these reasons, this paper demonstrates only partially successful writing.
