The scoring is as follows for the quotes
1. Needs Improvement. The student chooses a quote that seems irrelevant to the plot. Rather than discuss the meaning to the overall work the student just rewords it and provides the context that it is said.
2. Developing, The student chooses a quote and claims that it is significant in regard to theme, character development, symbolism, irony or any other literary device, but does not provide evidence from the text or real world to support.
3. Mastery. The student choose a quote, claims that it has merit to the work in regards to theme, plot, character development, diction or any other literary device and provides evidence from the text. The student also discusses how the quote fits into the work as a whole and adds to it's literary merit.
For reader response:
1. Needs Improvement. The student does not appear to grasp the concept at present. The student simply summarizes the happenings of the plot and the characters action. The student lives almost completing in the realm of experience according the AP literature close reading novel.
2. Developing, Identifies the device but does not explain fully. The student also questions character motives and makes predictions to the plot. The student relies still heavily on solely experience of the AP close reading approach but is moving towards interpretation step.
3. MasteryStudent identifies, analyzes and evaluates the impact of the devices on the text. The student also utilizes all three levels of the AP approach to close reading
First of all 10 quotes and 10 reader response.
Rather than make every reader response worth the same there is a staggered progression. There is the acceptance that you may start off weak in the beginning, the "what do you want from me?!" stage, and with guidance and more information you can obviously better complete the task.
The first 3 posts are only worth 25% of your overall grade. This means they are worth something, but they won't kill you if you start weak. Starting off weak can be attributed to not having as much information, being unsure, or the author taking his/her sweet time. This is also why this section is worth a little less.
The next 3 posts are worth 35 % of the over score. At this point in your responses, you should be getting a better idea of what to post thanks to examples from classmates and the "in regard to" posts. Also, at this point, all the setting up is over, and you can start making real predictions and statements of symbolism motifs and themes.
The last section is worth 40% of the score. This is because by the end of the novel you really have all the information you need to address many of the devices in literature. Also your plot is almost completely unfolded. Also at this point, I've commented or other have about thoughts to explore. I'm trying to reward improvement rather than kill you for not starting strong.
Many of you will be getting a projected grade this week for your first novel. Also many of you in the 2 range are just not using correct terms
IE So this is a good entry that is missing some focus. You're talking about the structure, point of view, characterization, and flow of your novel, but you're saying it like a kid. IE A bathroom for a little kid is "potty." A shift in point of view to an annoyed tired senior is "switching back and forth." :P Use your clear headed senior words more than your tired senior words.
Don't freak out. For a lot of these an addition of a paragraph will fix it.
Keep Calm and Carry On
