Communication Skills (Construction of hypothesis/thesis statement, structure, mechanics, use of vocabulary, development and explanation of ideas). Responses are highly polished, without error that impedes meaning, showing careful preparation and revision techniques and processes. Responses are highly organized and expand in a meaningful and interesting direction from the prompt. Big ideas are explored, and productive academic risk is taken. Advances sophisticated ideas that are authentic and unique, while referencing a diverse set of external voices. Advanced structure, hypotheses/thesis statements are complex, relevant and meaningful.

Ideas trend general in scope, and miss opportunities to connect to concepts from class and life experiences. Products lack focus and appear to be random or unrelated streams of details. Responses are underdeveloped and miss opportunities to show learning and understanding. Hypotheses/thesis statements do not show expected characteristics. Evidence is incorrect, irrelevant or not compelling. Insufficient evidence of communication skills present.
