Knowledge and understanding of the text or extract: 6
I gave myself a 5 in this criterion because I think I showed good understanding of this text by talking about the context of the novel at the beginning, and then making statements about what is going on in the novel outside of this passage and connecting it to my analysis. I didn't score myself higher because I think my references were somewhat limited and elementary and could have been more specific.
Understanding of the use and effects of literary features: 4
I gave myself a 4 in this criterion because while I think I showed an adequate amount of understanding of the use of literary features, I think I failed to talk about how this would impact the reader.
Organization: 3
I gave myself a 3 for this criterion because I thought I showed somewhat clear structure of my thoughts and direction, I sometimes went off in directions other than what I was suppose to be talking about and this made it a little choppy and confusing.
Language: 3
I gave myself a 3 in this criterion because I think I used appropriate language and generally good sentence structure, but sometimes my thoughts were not stated very well and the sentences were then not grammatically correct.
Side Note: I hit my time limit so I never made a conclusion. I remember that this was an important part of the IOC and will be more conscious of doing this next time.
P.S. I apologize for the interruption in the middle, I didn't want to restart because I was almost done! Hopefully it will provide comedic relief while listening to all of these IOC's.
