	Flawed 3 pts	Acceptable 3.5 pts	Good 4 pts	Exemplary 5 pts

Component 2: Analytic-Critical • Relevance of Objection (RO): Is your objection germane to the author’s argument? • Strength of Objection (SO): To what extent is your objection supported by reasons? How strong are those reasons?	Flawed • (RO): objection largely misses the point or largely off target • (SO): objection largely unpersuasive	Acceptable • (RO): objection is “in the neighborhood” of author’s position • (SO): objection not without some merit, but still lacking in important ways	Good • (RO): objection strikes “near the center” of author’s position • (SO): objection strong, though lacking in minor ways	Exemplary • (RO): objection is “spot on;” strikes at heart of author’s position • (SO): objection perceptive, persuasive, and powerful
Component 3: Pedagogical • Relevance/Centrality (R/C): Does your example/illustration powerfully illumine something of central importance to the author’s position?	Flawed • (R/C): example entirely or largely fails to address something of central argumentative importance	Acceptable	Good • (R/C): example addresses something of central argumentative importance but lacks full imagination and creativity	Exemplary • (R/C): example addresses something of central argumentative importance in a creative, evocative way
Component 4: Practical • Relevance/Centrality (R/C): How central to the author’s thesis is your reflection on why it matters? • Depth of Inquiry (DI): To what extent does your reflection on why the author’s thesis matters reveal a depth of inquiry (i.e., thinking deeply and imaginatively about implications)?	Flawed • (R/C): exploration entirely or largely fails to capture and express an implication of central argumentative importance • (DI): exploration fails to reflect deep and imaginative thinking	Acceptable	Good • (R/C): exploration mostly captures and expresses an implication of central argumentative importance • (DI): exploration reflects some depth and imagination	Exemplary • (R/C): exploration fully captures and expresses an implication of central argumentative importance • (DI): exploration reflects profound depth and imagination
