What earns a “10” O Sophisticated definition O Strong example of the term (not a stretch) O ONE SENTENCE summary. Two sentences of context. O Use of the term as an active verb when applicable O Explicit connection of the specific example (quoted in the function discussion) to the overall purpose of its presence. O Other references or quotes to support this analysis O STRONG diction and varied syntax
