Discussion Point Breakdown

3 Points 2 Points 1-0 Points

-Paragraphs are developed with thesis and
supporting details and are connected to one
another with effective transitions.
-Points made/discussion moves beyond
surface; thoughtful or reflective
analysis/explanation/ elaboration/assessment
that reveals efforts to reflect upon personal
experience and apply it to new situations.
-Points made/discussion pertains to parts of
the assignment; not all-obvious areas are
addressed with equal attention.
-Paragraphs have thesis statement, but are not
fully supported with details OR, vice versa.
Use of transitions is inconsistent or awkward.
-Analysis, explanations, elaboration,
assessments are routine, typical; carefully
written but few unique insights and few
implications or connections to personal
experience.
-Points made and discussion are peripheral to
or unrelated to the assigned topic. Or,
addresses only some parts; obvious areas
omitted creating a partial product.
-Transitions are not present. Paragraphs are
not cohesive units.
-Analysis, explanations, elaboration,
assessments not present where needed and
when present are meager, revealing superficial
rather than deep thinking and little attention to
implications or connection to personal
experience.
