Dissection of essay #2

The essay response to the argument made in the prompt is thoughtful, analytical, and, for the most part, well written, although there are a few small errors here and there (more on that later). The response successfully identifies the prompt’s strengths and weaknesses, and the essay author also offers some strong advice about where the argument might have been strengthened, indicating strong comprehension of the subject matter.

Among the key strengths of the essay response is that the essay author references the fact that kids have the ability to get their hands on almost anything. This raises a very strong point against arming teachers in America’s schools, and it also points out an area where the original argument was lacking. The essay makes another strong point (another argument against arming teachers) when the author mentions the fact that background checks are only going to keep out teachers who have offended before, not every possible dangerous person out there.

The areas in which the essay response falters tend to be related to grammar and style. The essay switches back and forth between the second and third person, which affects its overall strength (and ultimately, its score, too). While the majority of the essay is written in the third person, the author switches to second person in the second paragraph, where she says, “only holds true if you,” and again in the third paragraph, where she says, “the prompt does make you think.” The overall strength of the essay would have been better if the essay author had picked one point of view and stayed consistent with it throughout the copy.

There are several other grammatical errors that also distract a reader from the actual content in the essay. For example, the second-to-last sentence in the essay is missing a comma between “them” and “but.” If a complete sentence appears on either side of the conjunction, a comma is needed for clarity. This response would likely receive a score of 4.
