C D/F
All, or very nearly all, of the pertinent
information about the selected poet
has been included and appears to be
accurate. There are not any
noticeable factual errors and the
relationship between the examples
and the elements demonstrates a
strong relationship.
This project often demonstrates
depth of understanding for the
guiding questions. The information
attempts to go beyond the literal, to
make connections for how each of
these questions relate and depend
upon one another. Analytical and
evaluative thinking are evident
throughout portions of project.
Most of the pertinent information
about the selected poet has been
included and appears to be accurate.
However, some information is missing
and/or the relationship between the
examples and the element does not
achieve the desired depth.
This project provides a mostly literal
understanding for most of the
questions. There is very little that is
included that appears to go beyond
the literal; or, the attempts are
inconsistent for the scope of the
questions. There is minor evidence of
analytical and evaluative thinking, but
it is inconsistent.
Most of the pertinent information
about the selected poet has been
included, but there are several factual
errors that detract from the quality
and/or the relationship between the
examples and element is too brief or
too surface level to achieve the
desired depth.
There is not any evidence to suggest
that a relationship exists among the
different questions. Information is
simply reported in a factual manner
without enough evidence of analysis.
