rubric
All 4 CEA parts present + ≥70% analysis ratio + embedded quote with proper integration = mastery
Hints
- Use the quote-sandwich pattern from G7-fall to embed evidence.
- Each analytical sentence should name a craft move + an effect + a reason.
Misconceptions to watch
- Drops the quote without integration ('Angelou says "...". This shows...').
- Substitutes summary for analysis in the analytical sentences.
