Question 17

Idea Development - Score Point 0

The response does not address the central idea about how Catalina's and the student's feelings about their futures are similar. While there is some evidence the student may have read Lace Round the Sky (i.e., "she like to look at the sky"), there is no awareness of the purpose for writing in the response.

Standard English Conventions - Score Point 0

The response is of insufficient length and complexity. There are two incorrect sentences that demonstrate no control of Standard English conventions for this grade level.
