Ensure that the comparison forms the body of the essay and that both similarities and differences are discussed. Your essay will be marked using the following rubric: RUBRIC FOR ESSAY Clearly demonstrates an understanding of the question, cites factual evidence, completes all requirements, and provides an insightful comparison of the works, with reference to both the 20–16 general characteristics of the genres and the specific features of the two tracks. Own opinion of the works is offered with insight and specific reference to the use of the elements of music. Demonstrates an understanding of the question, completes all requirements, cites factual 15,5– evidence and provides some comparison of the works, with some reference to both the general 10,5 characteristics of the genres and the specific features of the tracks. Own opinion of the works is offered with limited insight and some generalisation in terms of the use of the elements of music. Meets all of the requirements, but demonstrates only a partial understanding of the question and limited factual evidence. Comparison of the works is limited with only partial reference to either 10–5,5 the general characteristics of the genre or the specific features of the tracks. Own opinion is limited with little or no reference to the use of the elements of music. There is an imbalance between the sections of the essay. Demonstrates minimal understanding of the question, does not complete all requirements, and 5–0,5 provides only a vague reference to, or no use of, the facts. No comparison or opinion is offered. There is no balance within the essay. IEB Copyright © 2019
