Hello, AP Graders! Welcome to the world of evaluating essays on a 1 to 9 basis! During today's class, we paid close attention to grading instructions and the differentiation among effective, adequate, average, inadequate, and little success essays. When you are holistically reading each essay, you will still consider organization (intro, body, conclusion), rhetorical strategy selection, analytical depth, evidence usage, voice, and mechanics.
I do want to call attention to how evidence is incorporated into the writing. At this level, you want to avoid long, full sentence quotes that takeover the paragraph and waste precious time to write. Instead, you want to transition phrases and significant words into your writing to create a flow from your analysis into the evidence itself. A strong, mature writer sees evidence as a supporting feature and not as the centerpiece of writing.
Tomorrow, the essay scores will be revealed, and we shall see if you can be professional graders next summer.

ReplyDeleteWhen looking to buy a more affordable and cheap rangefinder, always consider precision, range, durability, ease of access and of course, brand and price. There are many brands that are priced considerably low so I'm always on the lookout for that. One of the things that I saw in one particular site is the Simmons LRF 600 Tilt Intelligence Laser, which weighs only 9.6oz. It's considerably cheap, but the quality is also good.
