Rubric for Response essays

Audience (5): uses forms for academic writing (state's author's name & names article corretly), uses moves from They Say/I Say, creates a conversation with the article, provides context, declares and develops a position (meets requirements for the genre of response).

Focus (6): all points connect to the main idea; the author points out the connections between points & examples; each point develops the focus in a different way, develops a non-trivial, critical focus, includes in-depth development of the focus

Organization (5): set up context (They Say) first, logical order, define terms or introduce ideas before discussing them.

Development (6):  provides detailed support for the main idea through a series of points, refers to the article/readig; states a position/puts forward a response that provides reasons and gives evidence

Correctness (3): spelling, punctuation, grammar, paragraphing, MLA conventions
