Criteria Feedback
- The student establishes a clear and relevant line of inquiry around love, relationships, and rebellion in The Hunger Games.
- The student's essay uses several well-chosen moments from the trilogy, including the berries, Rue’s burial, and the Peeta/Gale contrast.
- The student keeps the discussion connected to the central text rather than drifting too far into summary.
- The focus sometimes becomes broad, especially when the student moves into biblical imagery, audience response, and wider dystopian comparisons.
- The research question is not always handled with the same precision throughout the essay.
- The method would be stronger if the student explained more clearly how each example was selected and why it best answers the question.
