This includes an effective and consistent use of transitions; a logical progression of ideas; an effective introduction and conclusion for audience and purpose; and strong connections among ideas with some syntactic variety.
3 pts The response has an evident organizational structure and a sense of completeness, though there may be minor flaws and some ideas may be loosely connected. The response includes adequate use of transitional strategies with some variety; adequate progression of ideas; adequate introduction and conclusion; and adequate, if slightly inconsistent, connection among ideas.
2 pts The response has an inconsistent organizational structure. Evident flaws may include inconsistent use of transitional strategies and little variety; uneven progression of ideas; conclusion and introduction, if present, are weak; and there is a weak connection among ideas.
