This, in about the time it takes to describe the task.

One rubric, two renderings — same data.

Builds an argument from evidence CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.9-10.1

Your goal — Meeting

Makes a clear claim and supports it with evidence from at least two sources, explaining how each supports the claim.

Other levels

Approaching. Claim and evidence are both there, but the link is left implied.

Exceeding. Also weighs a counter-claim and explains why the evidence still holds.

Uses precise language CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.9-10.3

Your goal — Meeting

Chooses words that carry the intended shade of meaning, and keeps register consistent.

Other levels

Approaching. Meaning is clear; word choice general, register slips.

Exceeding. Word choice sharpens the argument, not just the style.

On a phone, Meeting leads — the goal, not a cell buried mid-grid.
