Grade:
1. Knowledge and understanding of the text: 6
I provided background information and how the extract relates to the novel as a whole; however, I could have supported my claims with more examples.
2. Literary Features: 5
I didn't go as in depth with this one as I would have liked because I was worried about time. I did reference how language affects tone, though, and related that to the reader.
3. Organization: 4
I thought that I organized my commentary well; however, I did go off track a little when I was talking about context, and sometimes I went back to topics after moving on.
5. Language: 3
My vocabulary was not very varied (I said "negative" about 31739 times). I also don't really know what my "register" should be, but I'm sure it was not up to par.
