Minimal: The writer provides some details but in unrelated ways. No organizational framework is created for the reader to use in understanding how the various pieces of information in the sample relate to each other. Major points in the text might be shuffled without altering the meaning or effectiveness of the text. Category includes texts that are organized by: first, second, third, and finally. |
| 3 | Adequate: The writer describes and interrelates most of the information and presents details within a clear, coherent (though perhaps implicit) organizing framework. |
| 4 | Elaborated: The writer composes an extended description within a cohesive and explicit organizing framework to provide a context for the reader. The meaning or effectiveness of the text would be altered if the order of points were disturbed: a highly wrought, tightly organized text. |
