IOC Practice:

Criterion A - For criterion A I would get a 5 because i feel as though my comments showed that I understood what was going on in the text but looking back i=on it I forgot to include information about the doctor who also had a part in the text and i did a comparison between Malcolm and Macbeth, who was not in the passage, and i am not sure if we are allowed to do that. I thought my references were decent but upon reflection I feel as though I used to few and did not vary them enough I also think I could have gone into more detail on explaining why they were important. 

Criterion B - For criterion B I would give myself a 4. After listening back to what I said I think I give a good range of different literary elements that are used to show the theme I was targeting but i forgot to give give examples of what their impact is on the reader. I think I did a pretty good job of using them to construct meaning within my thesis. 

Criterion C - For Criterion C I would give myself a 4. I feel like I did a good job organizing my thoughts. I went from one point to the next and attempted to connect it back to the original theme that I stated at the beginning. I had an intro about the text, my thesis, 3 points I analyzed using literary elements, and then a conclusion. 

Criterion D - For criterion D I would give myself a 3. I think that the terms I used were appropriate but i am sure there are some elements or literary terms that I could have used and did not. Overall though I think that the comments and structure that I used for the commentary was appropriate for what I was trying to say.

  1. Kurt-
    A: 5/6- great knowledge of context; good understanding of the passage itself. I like what you did with comparing M & M, but make sure you really focus more on the passage itself. You are smart to focus on a key motif and stick with that.
    B: 5- I like that you kept it simple here- don't forget about effect on the reader, although I do think you did discuss that without saying "reader"...looking at structure and discussing the arrival of the doctor would have make this stronger. More to build on your thesis as well, if you are saying the passage shows a contrast between M & MD
    C: 3-4- Great that you kept linking back to your thesis; overall well-organized because you kept it simple
    D: 4
