How do I mark your answers to short story questions?
Whenever answering questions that go along with one of the short stories, consider the following:
· Is the content detailed?
· Has the student revealed his/her personal voice?
· Are thoughts and ideas focused so a reader easily understands the point of view being presented?
· Did the student take risks in presenting his/her ideas?
· Are opinions supported with reference to the actual text?
· Were the references to the text appropriate?
· Has the student revealed insight into more than just the plot?
