Controlling Idea/Purpose Text presents a somewhat

obvious controlling idea
and is somewhat supported
with sub-points, though
some may seem tangential,
and explanation seems to
be superficial. Controlling
idea partially answers the
“why” / “how” of selected
community and genre.
Evidence Text presents evidence
for the controlling
idea, though it may not
fully support the
controlling idea, or the
connections between
the evidence and
controlling idea are
unclear. Several
tangents present, or
the evidence may not
connect to the
analysis.
Audience Awareness Text presents
language somewhat
inappropriate to the
audience and a
somewhat
 inappropriate
balance of summary
and details given the
audience and
purpose. Author
overuses “I” and
“you.”
Genre Competence Text seems confused
about the purpose of
genre analysis by
somewhat revealing
something new, although
the essay has too much
summary or definition of
the genre. Focus of the
text is somewhat the
genre and the
community.
Style, Grammar, and MLA Style is somewhat appropriate for the assigned
genre and audience. Body paragraphs are not
well structured; topic sentences, evidence, and
connections between ideas are weak.
Several grammar errors are present. Text appears
to have not been proofread and edited.
MLA format is incorrect in many places, and the
title of the text does not clearly relate to the
genre.
Grade Average C. (14-15.8)
