The writer develops the topic in an enlightening, purposeful way that makes a point or tells a story. Every piece adds something to the whole. Ideas are reasonably clear, though they may not be detailed, personalized, or expanded enough to show in-depth understanding or a strong sense of purpose. Support is attempted, but doesn't go far enough yet in fleshing out the main point or storyline. To extract meaning from the text, the reader must make inferences based on sketchy details.
Information is very limited or unclear.
The text may be repetitious, or may read like a collection of disconnected, random thoughts. The order, structure or presentation of information is compelling and moves the reader through the text. Thoughtful transitions clearly show how ideas connect. Organization flows so smoothly the reader hardly thinks about it. The organizational structure is strong enough to move the reader through the text without undue confusion.
