Uses specific details and well-chosen quotes to evoke a powerful response. Quotes are chosen from both Beowulf and other sources. Demonstrates a mature writing style through effective command of sentence structure, diction and organization. Need not be without flaws, but the flaws must not detract from the overall effect of the piece.Good job! 80’sAddress the comparison, but less fully or effectively than compositions in the top range. Makes an attempt to use quotes effectively and uses quotes from sources in addition to Beowulf. Demonstrates appropriate style, but with less maturity than top papers. Flaws may be apparent, but shows sufficient control over the elements of composition to allow the writer’s ideas to be presented clearly.Could be better! 70’sAddresses the comparison, but in a simplistic manner. Does not provide textual evidence in a meaningful way, and seems vague or overly general. Only uses text from Beowulf. Adequately written, but may be inconsistent in use of elements of composition. Composition is generally ineffective and needs work.Under construction! 60’s Attempts to address the comparison, but does so inaccurately or without support. A lack of specifics leaves the reader feeling empty. The writing may convey the writer’s ideas, but reveals lots of errors and weak control over diction, organization and syntax.Uh oh, Spaghettio! 50’s and belowComposition is incomplete, does not address the comparison, and is poorly written on several counts. Writing reveals weaknesses in usage and elements of composition. ................
