To achieve a level six essay, you must use large vocabulary and reveal an in-depth understanding of the ideas in the passages and how they connect to the question being asked of you to answer. In addition, you must be aware of who your audience is. Also, your ideas have to be developed clearly and in a structured manner. However, for a level three essay, you must show a basic understanding of the ideas in the passages given to you through the writing of your essay. In addition, your ideas have to be presented briefly, as you only use some details from the passages.

Also,your ideas have to be developed clearly and in a oraganized manner. But for a level three essay, you have to show a clear and basic understanding of the passages thats given to you throughout your essay.
ReplyDeleteA level 3 essay requires the student to provide a response which shows a basic understanding of the topic, few connections and few developed ideas. A level 3 response also has to establish a focus, and include somewhat of a structure and vocabulary.

ReplyDeleteA level 6 essay not only fulfills the task, but goes in debt while staying on topic. The language use is sophisticated, the grammar is close to perfect, and the essay is well organized.
ReplyDeleteA level 3 essay does not go in dept and just shows basic understanding of the documents and task. The essay is not well organized and changes topics within paragraphs. The grammar is not very good and repetition is seen throughout the essay.

To recieve a level 6 essay you need to be organized, in depth and stay on topic, you need to have good grammar and spelling, proper language, it needs to have details and be descriptive, as well as going above and beyond what you are expected to write. A level 3 essay is the same concept but very basic. Its less organized, descriptive, as detailed and has more grammar and spelling mistakes.
ReplyDeleteTo get a level 6 essay, you really need to be organized, and must be able to develop your ideas full using details from the text. You must also use language that is both engaging with a sense of having a voice. And you need very good grammar and spelling skills.
ReplyDeleteThe essays show great variation, There are clear differences from a level six to a level three. A level six does not only address the tasks it fully expands on them in a detailed paragraph. Level three essay simply graze on the tasks with little to no expansion. Precise spelling and grammer are harshly checked.

ReplyDeleteA level three essay requires a basic and general uderstanding of the topic. The level three essay wouldn't include too much detail and it also may lack organization.

ReplyDeletein order to achieve a level 3 your essay would be a less than standard essay. you will cover some of the main points but not all and explain some of it .
From reading these essays, I’ve noticed that in order to achieve a level six essay your writing must include proper grammar, a wide range of vocabulary, and show that you have a detailed understanding of the task. A level six essay must also be written in a way that your topic is clearly presented; it is organized, and makes connections to the text, or passage they’ve given you. A level three essay basically has some of the same things such as details, vocabulary, and grammar, but it is a little worse, or not as much. Your ideas are also presented briefly in a level three essay; using some details from the passage. It is also shows somewhat of organizational skills.
ReplyDeleteto get a level six essay, you need to be an excellent writer. you need to know and use vocabualary on a high level, have perfect grammar, and show that you understand the task that we are basingthe essay on. your topic has to be presented clearly, which means that your essay refers to the passage or text they have given you and information from the outside world.
ReplyDeleteI've learned that to write a level 6 essay, you must first use good grammar and vocabulary, and then show that you clearly understand the task. Your topic must be fully explained and referred to the passage or text that you've read. To write a level 3 essay, you must use fairly good grammar and vocabulary, and show that you understand the task clearly enough. You must finally, explain your topic briefly and refer it to the passage or text with a small amount of less information than a level 6 essay.
ReplyDeleteTo recieve a level six essay you have to use good vocabulary and a wide range of you understanding the text in the passages that were given and how the questions they gave are relevent to the passage. The structure must be organaized. A level 3 essay does not show as much understanding and details as the level 6 essay does.

A level 6 essay includes strong vocabulary, good grammar, and you have to show that you have a strong understanding of what is being asked. A level 3 essay lacks a variety of vocabulary, and gets straight to the point in other words does what is asked but does not go in depth.
ReplyDelete-Christian Segura
The difference between a level 6 essay and a level 3 essay is the analysis portion. A level 3 essay just merely describes the text that is layed out in front of you, so really, you're just sumarizing the text. If you want a level 6 essay, then you have to dig deep into the text, pick out the pieces from the text that you need, and then ellaborate on them to prove you're point. Also, a level six essay must have no spelling and gramatical errors, and must include sophisticated vocabulary useage. A level 3 essay can have a few errors, and the vocabulary dosen't have too be too sophisticated.
ReplyDeleteAndrew Villa Period 8
I learned that in order to write a level 6 essay, you have to be able to give a significant amount of information for whatever topic you're writing about, and you ahve to use some challenging vocabulary. You have to give information thats relevant to the topic, and you have to check over you're work after to make sure theres no grammar errors, and misspelled words.

ReplyDeleteTo achieve a level 6 essay, you must understand the concept of that task and understand exactly what they are asking you to do. You must add a wide range of vocabulary, have proper grammer and make sure it is neat and organized. For a level 3 essay, you should understand the task yet you may be a little confused. There may not be as wide range of vocabulary as in a level 6 essay, but there is still some vocab included. The writer of a level 3 essay may or may not connect the task to what they are actually writing about.
ReplyDeleteBasically to achieve a six in an essay you have to follow all literary elements. Your vocabulary should be sophisticated, using words that aren't usual, to have a introduction, body paragraphs and a conclusion.A level three is different than a level 3 essay in the way that the level three essay just completes the task but the level six goes in depth and stays but stays in task at the same time.
