    Rhetorical Awareness
    Response to situation,
    including purpose,
    audience, register, and
    context

    Overlooks two or more


    aspects of the situation
    or assignment, and thus
    does not fulfill the task

    Overlooks at least one


    aspect of the situation
    or assignment and thus
    compromises
    effectiveness

    Attempts to respond to
    all aspects of the
    situation or assignment,
    but the attempt is
    incomplete

    Addresses the situation


    or assignment in a
    complete but
    perfunctory or
    predictable way

    Addresses the situation


    completely, with
    unexpected insight

    Addresses the situation


    in a sophisticated
    manner that could
    advance professional
    discourse on the topic

    Stance
    Argument, significance
    and implications (so
    what factor)

    Involves an unspecified
    or confusing argument;
    significance is not
    evident

    Makes an overly
    general argument;
    significance is difficult
    to discern, or not
    appropriate to the
    rhetorical situation

    Makes a simplistic or
    implicit argument, or
    multiple arguments that
    have no clear
    connection to one
    another; gestures
    towards significance,
    but does not fully
    develop it

    Makes an explicit and


    straightforward
    argument that does not
    oversimplify the
    problem or question;
    explores at least one
    implication of the
    argument in depth

    Makes a complex,
    unified argument that
    clearly articulates a
    position or stance;
    explores multiple
    implications of the
    argument

    Offers an inventive,
    expert-like argument
    that clearly articulates a
    sophisticated
    position/stance;
    explores multiple
    implications of the
    argument in a
    compelling manner

    Development of Ideas
    Evidence, analysis, and
    substance

    Claims requiring
    support are not backed
    by necessary evidence;
    lacks analysis of major
    pieces of evidence;
    content is not
    substantive

    Evidence and/or
    analysis is weak or
    contradictory; does not
    account for important
    evidence that could
    support or disprove the
    argument

    Evidence provides
    minimal but necessary
    support to each point;
    attempted analysis is
    not sufficient to prove
    the argument

    Evidence and analysis


    are substantive; they
    support the argument
    and related claims, but
    are mostly predictable

    Evidence fully supports


    and proves the
    argument and all
    related claims;
    evidence is always
    paired with compelling
    analysis

    Evidence and analysis


    are precise, nuanced,
    fully developed, and
    work together to
    enhance the argument,

    Organization
    Structure and coherence,
    including elements such
    as introductions and
    conclusions as well as
    logical connections
    between points

    Lacks unity in
    constituent parts; fails
    to create coherence
    among constituent
    parts; contains major
    argumentative holes or
    fallacies

    Uses insufficient
    unifying statements;
    uses few effective
    connections; some
    logical moves
    necessary to prove the
    argument are absent

    Uses some effective


    unifying claims, but a
    few are unclear;
    inconsistently makes
    connections between
    points and the
    argument; employs
    simplistic organization

    States unifying claims


    with supporting points
    that relate clearly to the
    overall argument and
    employs an effective
    but mechanical scheme

    Asserts and sustains a


    claim that develops
    logically and
    progressively; adapts
    typical organizational
    schemes for the
    context; achieves
    substantive coherence

    Artifact is organized to
    achieve maximum
    coherence and
    momentum; connections
    are sophisticated and
    complex when required

    Conventions
    Expectations for
    grammar, mechanics,
    style, citation

    Involves errors that risk


    making the overall
    message distorted or
    incomprehensible

    Involves a major
    pattern of errors

    Involves some
    distracting errors

    Meets expectations,
    with minor errors

    Meets expectations
    in a virtually flawless
    manner

    Exceeds expectations
    and manipulates
    conventions to advance
    the argument

    Design for Medium


    Features that use
    affordances of the genre
    to enhance factors such
    as usability and
    comprehensibility

    Lacks features
    necessary or significant
    for the genre; uses
    features that conflict
    with or ignore the
    argument

    Omits some important


    features; distracting
    inconsistencies in
    features; uses features
    that dont support
    argument

    Uses features that


    support the argument,
    but some match
    imprecisely with
    content; involves minor
    omissions or
    inconsistencies

    Supports the argument


    with features that are
    generally suited to
    genre and content

    Promotes engagement
    and supports the
    argument with features
    that efficiently use
    affordances

    Persuades with careful,


    seamless integration of
    features and content
    and with innovative use
    of affordances
