Self Grading:
A: Knowledge and understanding of the text or extract
5 - The majority of what I claimed was supported by the text, although sometimes what I was saying was a bit of a stretch. I believe my understanding of this excerpt in relation to the text as a whole was okay.
B: Understanding the use and effects of literary features
4 - I believe that I talked a lot about the use of literary features in this text, but I did not speak as often about the effects of the literary features. My analysis of literary features overall was average.
C: Organization
3 - I think that my presentation was decently organized and it made logical sense when I listened to it. I adhered to the plan I had set out for myself when I said my thesis statement.
D: Language
4 - My language in this presentation was pretty casual and I did pause and misspeak a few times. I may or may not have deserved a 3, but I gave myself a 4 with the assumption that casual language was okay.
**Although this practice IOC was nowhere near exemplary, it was very helpful for me because I now have a better understanding of what I struggle with and need to improve on.**
