They also included context and explained the SPACE parts of SPACECAT to set their essay up successfully.

They were able to identify a number of rhetorical devices that were used in the speech, and they sometimes provided examples to show the rhetorical device in the speech.

Although they were able to give and defend examples in their essays they did not dive deeper and explain their HOW and WHY of their quotes. They also scored low because their conclusion did not prove that they had a complex understanding of the essay prompt.

They also had commentary that supported their evidence and elevated their argument. They tended to dig into the rhetorical choices from their evidence used, allowing for a broader perspective to be understood. The last thing that the high scoring essays had in common was that they had an adequate understanding of the topic - or a sophistication point, and were capable of displaying it.  - Tiffany N.]]> 2022-11-28 21:44:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mendivil_j/96ita58d5zwfkxkv/wish/2400953802 10466741 https://padlet.com/mendivil_j/96ita58d5zwfkxkv/wish/2400955150 The essays that scored high gave a defensible thesis, sufficient commentary alongside relevant evidence, and were written with sophistication. ]]> 2022-11-28 21:46:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mendivil_j/96ita58d5zwfkxkv/wish/2400955150 1051985 https://padlet.com/mendivil_j/96ita58d5zwfkxkv/wish/2400956873 You can create an outline of your essay to ensure that you hit all of the important points and ideas to receive a good score.

Their commentary would also fall flat as it would restate and explain their evidence, rather than add onto it and state their own views and opinions. The final thing that gave them low scores would be that they had no sophistication/understanding of the topic, opting to close their essay with flimsy words rather than digging into why it matters. - Tiffany N. ]]> 2022-11-28 21:53:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mendivil_j/96ita58d5zwfkxkv/wish/2400960772 10501331 https://padlet.com/mendivil_j/96ita58d5zwfkxkv/wish/2400961800 Something I felt like that I did well on was my critical thinking along with the essay.

Asking for help and edits is also a major thing that elevates an essay as peers can offer their views and experiences that makes you see the topic in a different light.
