The student example that I chose to grade is the “Campus Violence” GA on page 224 by Maria Eugenia Martinez. What I had noticed that was done well was she did a great job explaining her genre clearly throughout the genre analysis.
Based on the rubric found on page 221 I would have given this student a letter grade of an A. On the students’ analysis, I thought the genres chosen were appropriate and they did an excellent job addressing the specific points. (30 pts). On the supporting details section I thought it was well written and specific examples were given (15pts). On the comparison and contrast section, the student fairly developed integrated comparison between the genres. (15pts). The fluency aspects of the paper I thought were done well, as well as the students APA format (30pts). Based on the rubric and point system a total grade sum of 90 out 100 points were given resulting in me giving this students work an A.
-The introduction seems to grasp the audience and directs them toward the issue of campus violence, mainly towards women. The introduction gives facts that the crime rate against women in increasing at an alarming rate. The author states what he will attempt to analyze his certain genres that aid in the elimination of campus violence targeted at women. The information given is important because he states that is a certain issue that has been swept under the carpet for some time by campuses in hopes to “avoid media scrutiny” but now since the issue has become an increasing problem the author hopes to share his genres that have to do with potential efforts to end this violence.
-In my opinion I do think that the students example does focus on the content of the genre and does stay on topic as far as analyzing the topics and issues that they genres chosen are attempting to convey. The gene is presented to the reader by introducing the facts about each of the genres and then proceeding to give their opinion on the topic
-I think that the student does give enough specific details about the two genres to convey each message that was being said by the genres. He analyzes the genres precisely and specifically and also includes opinion about them. I think that this General Analysis was done very well.
