Read the poem carefully. Then, in a well-written essay, analyze how Channing uses literary elements and techniques to develop a complex portrayal of the speaker’s experience of this natural setting.  \nIn your response you should do the following:  \n• Respond to the prompt with a thesis that presents a defensible interpretation.  \n• Select and use evidence to support your line of reasoning.  \n• Explain how the evidence supports your line of reasoning.  \n• Use appropriate grammar and punctuation in communicating your argument.  \n\n| Reporting Category | Scoring Criteria |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Row A\u003Cbr>Thesis\u003Cbr>(0–1 points) | 0 points\u003Cbr>For any of the following:\u003Cbr>• There is no defensible thesis.\u003Cbr>• The intended thesis only restates the prompt.\u003Cbr>• The intended thesis provides a summary of the issue with no apparent or coherent claim.\u003Cbr>• There is a thesis, but it does not respond to the prompt. | 1 point\u003Cbr>Responds to the prompt with a thesis that presents a defensible interpretation of the poem. |\n|  | Decision Rules and Scoring Notes |  |\n|  | Responses that do not earn this point:\u003Cbr>• Only restate the prompt.\u003Cbr>• Make a generalized comment about the poem that doesn’t respond to the prompt.\u003Cbr>• Describe the poem or features of the poem rather than making a claim that requires a defense. | Responses that earn this point:\u003Cbr>• Provide a defensible interpretation of the complex portrayal of the speaker’s experience of this natural setting. |\n|  | Examples that do not earn this point:\u003Cbr>Restate the prompt\u003Cbr>• “The speaker has a complex experience in the setting of these moors.”\u003Cbr>• “William Ellery Channing uses various literary devices to portray the speaker’s complex experience in nature.”\u003Cbr>Do not relate to the prompt\u003Cbr>• “Nature experiences can inspire great poetry.”\u003Cbr>Describe the poem or features of the poem\u003Cbr>• “This poem is particularly vivid in its description of the moors.” | Examples that earn this point:\u003Cbr>Provide a defensible interpretation\u003Cbr>• “The speaker’s experience of the natural setting is one of solitude and uncertainty, but also of appreciation and peace.”\u003Cbr>• “By having the speaker address the moors directly, Channing portrays the setting to be a place where divisions are blurred.”\u003Cbr>• “The moors provide an escape from the cares ofthe world, but this escape to nature does not provide any advice or resolution.
