Poem Examples:
Does Not Meet | Minimally Meets | Meets | Exceeds | |
Knowledge of conditions on the front | No evidence of describing conditions of the war front | Conditions are not well described or seem to be forced into the poem | Can identify conditions on the war front seamlessly into the poem | Incorporates a knowledge of conditions on the front which enhances the mood of the poem |
Knowledge of soldier’s attitudes during WWI | No emotion in the poem, just a description | Shows generally appropriate emotions of a soldier, not specific to WWI | Can identify the concerns of soldiers on the fronts | Captures the feelings and moods that real soldiers have written about |
Knowledge of Canada’s role in WWI | Cannot identify how Canada participated in the war | Mentions the major battles that Canada participated in but no further information | Incorporates an understanding of Canada’s major accomplishments in battle | Shows the importance that Canada played with reference to specific battles or people |
Presentation | Random images, editing is too quick or too slow, speech is difficult to follow | Images are present but do not match the words, poorly chosen images | Well chosen images that visually represents the words, clean editing | Carefully chosen images that match the mood of the poem; timing and emotion heighten the message of the poem, keeps audience engaged in the image and poem |
