For Criterion A, I would give myself an 8 as a grade. I referenced various parts of the novel during my analysis, both from before and after the passage, and used direct quotes from the passage. I gave good context for my passage, and explained the characters as well.
For Criterion B, I would give myself a 5. I could not find very many literary devices in the passage that I chose. I did point out the diction and dialogue used in the passage, as well as general themes of the novel. I also barely examined the effect of the devices on the reader.
For Criterion C, I would give myself a 2. I did not spend that much time in my planning period organizing my commentary, but I did do some. My ideas generally flowed from one to the next, but there were several times during the commentary that I paused in order to finish with one idea, and then just picked up with a different idea.
For Criterion D, I would give myself a 4. I use generally adequate language throughout the commentary, but there a few moments when I lose track of my ideas and I fumble for the words that I am looking for. Otherwise, I use the appropriate terminology for literary devices and the lenses and themes of the novel.
Steven, dearest Steven, fantastic job with your practice IOC. It was quite long and one of the few that I have seen that actually was between the recommended 8-10 minutes. This is only significant because you filled your presentation with 9 minutes of awesomeness, not crappy analysis. I think you did a great job of understanding the text as a whole and you truly deserved that 8 you gave yourself. I might have given you a 3 for language, only because you used a lot of filler words because of your lack of organization. Overall great practice, you'll do great on the real thing. ;)
ReplyDeleteWow Steven! Stellar performance! I love how you paced yourself out to ensure that you meet the 8-10 minute requirement. I thought your analysis was great. I loved how you analyzed the change in what Mrs. Lucy was saying throughout the passage. I thought all of the information was relevant and you found a multitude of good content to use in your analysis rather than repeating yourself. Keep up the good work!
