Inferring Within Text/Cohesion
Criteria Ratings Pts
This criterion is linked to a learning outcome Question 2
Responses at level 3 tell how parts of the text are related, using specific words to show connections between ideas. Responses at level 4 will name the main relationship between two things in a text, using specific words from the text, with examples to support their thinking. Responses at level 5 will include ideas about the relationship between two parts of a text, and they will support those ideas with specific evidence and academic vocabulary. Then, responses will move beyond the text, and students will include their own ideas. Responses at level 6 will recognize and discuss relationships that the author may not have explicitly put forth. The student will tend to have more provocative ideas about the relationships than seen at previous levels. The student will carefully select details to support her ideas.
