Rubric Ranking

A for Alfi: I would rank the first essay in the B-range. Although the essay is both arguable and logical the writer lacks mastery in both interest, progressive structure, and strong and obvious links to points. Also, the writer offers one point, that is, that Austen supplies "good" and "bad" lists. But, where is the writers other points to offer? Her argument, although generally solid, lacks sufficient support and only provides a few simple points. A few simple points won't win over the reader nor earn the writer an A-range. Sorry Alfi.
B for Beatrice: I would rank this essay in the A-range. The writer begins from the start with an interesting and insightful thesis. Moreover, the structure was strong and the essay flowed with both conversational and professional diction. Also, the writers examples and support were clear and well-chosen. Good job Beatrice!
C for Cecilia: Uh oh! I would rank this essay in the C-range. First of all, let me say, quantity does not equal quality. Second, the writer is vague on all accounts of analysis, nothing was fresh, nothing was insightful, nothing "changed me". Also, the writers topics are small, simplistic and underdeveloped and are generally confusing.
