Explanation for Scoring Guide:
6 – Excellent 5 – Very Good 4 – Good 3- Needs Improvement 2 – Incomplete 1 – Unacceptable
ORGANIZATION:
6 – Must receive a mark of “exceeds” in every area of the Introduction, Body, and Conclusion.
5 – Must receive more “exceeds” than “meets”.
4 – Received “meets” in all areas of the Introduction, Body, and Conclusion.
3, 2, 1 – Received marks in the “does not meet” areas. Raters determine the score based on the number of
“does not meet” marks.
DELIVERY:
6 – All areas should be marked same and this would receive a mark of “exceeds”.
5 – If only one area needs to be improved, this would receive a mark of “exceeds”.
4 – If two areas need to be improved, this would receive a mark of “meets”.
3 – If three areas need to be improved, this would receive a mark of “does not meet”.
2 – If four areas need to be improved, this would receive a mark of “does not meet”.
1 – If five or six areas need to be improved, this would receive a mark of “does not meet”.
LANGUAGE:
6 or 5 – All questions under Language Use are answered with a “yes” except the last question, which should be
“no”. This would receive an “exceeds” mark and the score of 6 or 5 would be determined by the rater.
4 – If one question in this section was answered with a “no”, this would receive a “meets” mark.
3 – If two questions were answered with a “no”, this would receive a “does not meet” mark.
2 – If three questions were answered with a “no”, this would receive a “does not meet” mark.
1 – If four or five questions were answered with a “no”, this would receive a “does not meet” mark.
IDEAS AND CONTENT:
6 or 5 – All areas under the Body should receive “exceeds” marks. To receive an “exceeds” mark the speech should
contain at least two or three main points that are clearly identified. It should also have three or four forms of
support and use focus words and transitions throughout the speech.
4 – Marks of “meets” or “exceeds” were received in the Body. To receive a “meets” mark, the speech contains main
points which may not be clearly identified. It should also have one or two forms of support and use focus words and
transitions in parts of the speech.
3, 2, 1 – Marks of “meets” or “does not meet” were received in the Body. To receive a “does not meet” mark the speech
would not have identifiable main points, forms of support, or use focus words and transitions
