I definitely met
the standard for
this one. I can
clearly analyze a
text and I think I
best analyzed the

clearly state
what the author
was trying to get
across through
an objective
summary as well
as relating it in
other scenarios.

Reading:
Determine two
or more central
ideas of a text
and analyze their
development
over the course
of the text,
including how
they interact and
build on one
another to
provide a
complex
analysis; provide
an objective
summary of the
text

Personally,
relating texts to
each other is a
strong suit of
mine which
should not go
unnoticed. The
two reads in this
unit definitely
coincide and I
can clearly relate
them back to
each other.
Knowing how to
appropriately fail
and succeed off
of failure is
essential.

Writing: Write
narratives to
develop real or
imagined
experiences or
events using
effective
technique, wellchosen details,
and wellstructured event
sequences

definitely
exceeded this

sense where I
effectively used
concrete details
that support what
I am writing. I

Personally this
letter was
probably one of
my best writings
and I put a lot of

Evaluate a

reasoning, and
use of evidence
and rhetoric,
assessing the
stance, premises,

tone used.

I can definitely
say I could
evaluate Rifkins
tone, reasoning,
and word choice
throughout his
article. I feel like
I could catch
where he was

hundred percent
credible and
where he should
have cited his
information.

I could have
improved on
bringing up more

think I got really
wrapped into my
claims that I

addressed the

more than was
done.

Writing:
Develop claim(s)

thoroughly,
supplying the

I truly excelled
when reading
The Essential

what the exact
purpose of
reading this text
was and this text
really opened my
eyes. I think
about Roger

views on life and

own life. I think
this text was

everyone should
