- Skim the six sample essays to the first writing prompt from yesterday.
- With your partner, decide what score (0-5) each sample response would probably get.
- (DELTA p. 419 has a description of the score levels.)
- essay 1: 3 - two supporting points, not very well developed; some grammar problems interfere with understanding; lots of missing subjects (especially “it”); little variety in vocabulary
- essay 2: 0 - it mostly repeats words and phrases from the prompt
- essay 3: 4 - missing articles and other small grammar mistakes; points aren’t developed enough
- essay 4: 2 - clear thesis and some support for each main point; the support is not well developed and there are a lot of grammar problems
- essay 5: 5 - well organized; just two supporting points but they have good development; missing subject “Is more fun”, but it only happens once instead of being a repeated mistake like essay 1
- essay 6: 1 - basically no development of the supporting points; serious language errors make it hard to understand
