Scoring+Rubric

You may read this only after you have completed your writing. If you need less than 30 mins, fine, but, think about it, you really should try to use up the 30.


 * A. Remember, you only earn points for doing exactly what you were supposed to do. There are no half or quarter points. If you didn't hand-write the FRQ, you failed and earn 0 for not reading instructions. See how that works? But seriously, you have to hand-write this for the College Board, get used to it!**


 * B. You earn the point for answering the question and making the connection, not defining it, so make sure you did that. Now lets go point by point and see if you did it.**

1. You need to say something specifically explaining how Yolanda is doing something with __egocentrism__ or an __egocentric__ perspective that demonstrates that you understands that she is taking everything from only her own perspective and failing to share or doing something else that is frustrating to her siblings. Ex: "Yolanda went on vacation with her parents and Charity and Stewart, her older siblings. Stewart is very annoyed that Yolanda won't just take even turns listening to music and instead insists on everyone always listening to her My Little Pony Learns Calculus the entire way to Dallas. Stewart is enraged, Charity explains that Yolanda is in an egocentric stage, unable to take another's perspective." Ways you could mess this up is to talk about how big her ego is or that it is all about her. Not really that is what people think egocentric means, it really means a failure to take another person's perspective, or just one perspective at a time, so just going from focusing on vacationing at Storyland to just focusing on cookies, etc. To get the point here you need to give an example rather than define it. Defining the word will not earn the point. Explaining and connecting it to Yolanda as the directions state will. This is true for every single point. Did you get the point? Then explain in writing off to the side why you did or did not. Please do this for every point.======

2. You need to say something specifically about how Yolanda is or will soon move into __concrete operational__ if you just said that she was demonstrating egocentric thinking and if you say below that she has i__rreversibility__, because all of the other terms really go with the earlier stage of preoperational. But you can still earn the full point by demonstrating full understanding of __concrete operational__ and connecting it to Yolanda. Note again that definitions are not earning any points, but if it helps you to write them out, go for it. Ex: "Charity explained to Stewart that soon Yolanda would be entering the __Concrete__ __Operational__ stage, and while she wouldn't be an abstract thinker like him just yet, she would understand when taking turns that hers would come, and that she wouldn't always be the center of the universe...though, it might take a few years." The way to mess up here is to define it without applying it to Yolanda. No score for either of those. Did you get the point? If yes or no, write why or why not off to the side and score it.

3. Ex: Yolanda wants hot chocolate, Stewart heats up the mug too much in the microwave and since Yolanda has __irreversibility__ she loses it as he pours it into a cooler mug. You can also talk about Stewart pulling apart the play dough and she freaked when he made it into two balls. It doesn't have to be fluid. It could be Cutting the pizza into slices. No, then it is ruined! jk! (my life) But seriously, the point is earned if you connect it to Yolanda! You guessed it, write out if you earned it or not!

4. Ex: Yolanda approached an unknown individual and somehow she was no longer afraid because she had outgrown her __stranger anxiety__, a natural stage Charity explained to Stewart. Again, did you avoid defining instead of connecting and demonstrating understanding?

The second part is challenging because they had to specifically talk to Yolanda in order to "encourage her" to develop autonomy. Um, if you encourage someone to develop shame...what is wrong with you? OK, sure a little shame is OK, it makes us all wear clothing that isn't our jammies...OK most days.

5. Ex. All the siblings were gathered around the campfire and Charity said, "I'm so proud of you Yolanda, you did a great job today on that hike, carrying your waterbottle. Mostly I'm proud of you for telling us when you needed to pee! You are an awesome sister, have another marshmellow! this shows Charity encouraging Yolanda to develop autonomy over shame." If you got this point explain why or why not on the side.

It is fine if you aren't sure. Again, no halvsies. We will discuss on Fri. No worries if you are totally confused. If I had told you how to do this first, you would still have been confused. You will do approx 20 more of these, all worth very low points, we will keep doing it till you get it. Take your time! But take all 30 mins, no more.
