Obviously people will say an essay should look like a level 4 because its the highest level and everyone should aim to be at the highest level. But what does that really mean that makes it different.

This essay should also go a little beyond the rubric and include of extra, but also necessary information to add or tie the essay up altogether.

A level two essay has somewhat an idea or two based upon the task. It may be off topic at times, due to more knowledge in other things related to the topic than the actual topic, itself. A level two is also exceedingly insufficient and inconsistent. Overall, a level 2 essay is a substantial start, but it definitely can and needs to be developed more.

# data[].attributes.body
A level 3 essay is "the reaching point". It means the goal was reached, and now all that there is left to do is try to reach a little more. This is optional, however. A level 3 meets all standards of the criteria, essay structure, essay purpose, etc. It is organized in a well mannered fashion, and the organization flows with the topic. To sum it up, a level 3 essay is a grade level essay, and should be looked at more to surpass the minimum stage.

A level 4 essay would have the introduction to intrigue the audience and evidence used would be is different types of formats. The material was well positioned, making the writing coherence. Grammar would be accurately used and there would be few errors.

# data[].attributes.body
The essay should be well researched and the sequence of the writing should be consistent. The evidence was all relevant or at least not distant to the subject of the essay and the grammar would be used when it's suitable.

# data[].attributes.body
I would expect this essay to at least be a 3 for the majority of the class. Besides a 3, I also expect a blend in level 3 and 4 presented in essays that were above 3, but not quite a 4 yet. Regardless of any level, the essay should have a genuine flow throughout the entire thing, connecting every detail, reason, evidence, or information to each other back and forth.
