Edit criterion description Matters of Choice _8806 The marker should consider how effectively the student’s choices enhance communication. The marker should consider • diction, including connotative language, imagery, idiomatic expressions, and dialect • syntax, including such choices as parallelism, balance, inversion, sentence length, and variety • the contribution of stylistic choices to the creation of voice Range threshold: pts	Edit rating Delete rating 5 to >4.0 pts Excellent - Diction is precise and effective. Many sentences have been successfully structured for effect and are sometimes polished. Stylistic choices contribute to the creation of a competent voice. _8436 Edit rating Delete rating 4 to >3.0 pts Proficient - Diction is specific and generally effective. Many sentences appear to have been purposefully structured for effect. Stylistic choices contribute to the creation of a competent voice. _2090 Edit rating Delete rating 3 to >2.0 pts Satisfactory - Diction is appropriate but may be general rather than specific. Sentence structures are generally straightforward and clear. Stylistic choices contribute to the creation of a clear voice. _6222 Edit rating Delete rating 2 to >1.0 pts Limited - Diction is imprecise or inappropriate. Sentence structures are frequently ineffective and/or awkward. Inadequate stylistic choices contribute to the creation of an uncertain or unclear voice. _3643 Edit rating Delete rating 1 to >0 pts Poor - Diction is inaccurate and/or overgeneralized.

Edit criterion description Matters of Correctness _7841 The marker should consider the use of • sentence construction (completeness, consistency, subordination, coordination, predication) • usage (accurate use of words according to convention and meaning) • grammar (subject-verb/pronoun-antecedent agreement, pronoun reference, consistency of tense) • mechanics (punctuation, spelling, capitalization) Consider the proportion of error in terms of the complexity and length of the response. Range threshold: pts	Edit rating Delete rating 5 to >4.0 pts Excellent - The writing demonstrates confident control of correct sentence construction, usage, grammar, and mechanics. The relative insignificance of errors present is impressive considering the complexity of the response and the circumstances. _4982 Edit rating Delete rating 4 to >3.0 pts Proficient - This writing demonstrates control of the basics of correct sentence construction, usage, grammar, and mechanics. Minor errors in mechanics, grammar, and/or complex language structures are understandable considering the circumstances. _882 Edit rating Delete rating 3 to >2.0 pts Satisfactory - This writing demonstrates control of the basics of correct sentence construction, usage, grammar, and mechanics. There may be occasional lapses in control of sentence construction and usage, and/or minor errors in grammar and mechanics. The communication, however, is clear. _3844 Edit rating Delete rating 2 to >1.0 pts Limited - The writing demonstrates faltering control of correct sentence construction, usage, grammar, and mechanics. The range of sentence construction problems and errors in usage, grammar, and/or mechanics blur the clarity of communication. _52 Edit rating Delete rating 1 to >0 pts Poor - This writing demonstrates lack of control of correct sentence construction, usage, grammar, and mechanics. The unclear and incorrect sentence construction and jarring errors in usage, grammar, and mechanics impede communication. _9962 This area will be used by the assessor to leave comments related to this criterion.	pts / 5 pts --
