AC's Practice IOC
my recording:
will not load to save my life (emailed to Mrs. G)
my annotated passage from The Handmaid's Tale:
How I would score myself:
Criterion A: Knowledge and understanding of the text or extract- 4
My knowledge of the text is good, but my comments are only "occasionally" supported by references to the text.
Criterion B: Understanding of the use and effects of literary features- 6
I think this could possibly be a 7, but I'm not positive enough to bump myself up to the next mark range. I related back to Atwood's purpose well and addressed the three stylistic features' effects on her audience with "adequate" (almost "good") understanding.
Criterion C: Organization- 3
I think my commentary follows my intended structure well and is "generally coherent." I did an introduction (which should have been shorter), then focused in on three stylistic features, then concluded briefly.
Criterion D: Language- 2
The language that I use is definitely not my best. My sentence structure and grammar is "generally accurate," with errors that are "apparent." I also use too many filler words such as "um," "uh," and "so." I can improve on this maybe by writing down some sophisticated transition words during my 20 minute planning period.
Total Score: 15/30
