Grading Rubric for Annotations:

An A Annotation (90-100 pts) will successfully establish a working definition of the poetic device and its components and a working vocabulary via quoted textual evidence from Mary Oliver’s A Poetry Handbook. Annotation will successfully identify each example of the poetic device in the poem, and in an original, fresh analysis determine how it establishes and signals a shift and finally a change in the speaker’s tone. Annotation will support analysis with specific, quoted lines from the poem’s text, and be free of spelling, mechanical, grammatical errors.

A B Annotation (80-89 pts) will successfully establish a working definition of poetic device and its components and a working vocabulary via quoted textual evidence from Mary Oliver’s A Poetry Handbook. Annotation will identify three fourths of the examples of the poetic device in the poem, and in an analysis that goes beyond the obvious, determine how it establishes and signals a shift and finally a change in the speaker’s tone. Annotation will support analysis with quoted lines from the poem’s text, and with the exception of three, annotation will be free of spelling, mechanical, grammatical errors.

A C Annotation (70-79 pts) Annotation will successfully establish a working definition of the poetic device and its components and a vocabulary via quoted textual evidence from Mary Oliver’s A Poetry Handbook. Annotation will identify half of examples of the poetic device in the poem, and in an analysis that does not fully determine how it establishes and signals a shift and finally a change in the speaker’s tone. Annotation will support analysis with specific, quoted lines from the poem’s text, and will be compromised by more than ten errors of spelling, mechanics and grammar.

A D Annotation (60-69 pts) will successfully establish a working definition of poetic device and its components and a vocabulary via quoted textual evidence from Mary Oliver’s A Poetry Handbook. Annotation will identify less than half of all examples of the poetic device, and in an analysis that incompletely determines how it establishes and signals a shift and finally a change in the speaker’s tone. Annotation will support analysis with specific, quoted lines from the poem’s text, and will be compromised by more than twelve errors of spelling, mechanics and grammar.

An F Annotation (0-59 pts) will fail to establish a working definition of poetic device and its components and a vocabulary by failing to quote textual evidence from Mary Oliver’s A Poetry Handbook. Annotation will identify less than a third of examples of poetic device in the poems in an analysis that fails to determine how it establishes and signals a shift and finally a change in the speaker’s tone. Annotation will fail to support analysis with specific quoted lines from poems’ text.
