Practice IOC

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-  
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

  1. Since I couldn't actually hear your practice IOC, I don't know how well you did, but you did a great job of scoring yourself. You were very honest in you justifications and I think it was a good choice to use language from the rubric to do this.

  2. Anna Claire:
    - Good establishment of context
    - Like what you bring up about point of view
    - Good pacing, organization
    - Think maybe about effect on text (or purpose for the text) rather than effect on audience- it will strengthen your argument (instead you're just always going to say it's a warning for the audience or it makes the audience closer to the characters)
    - Establish if you're thinking about what the author is doing OR if you're thinking about what the narrator is doing
