Overall Scores: 20/30

Criteria A: 7

• I think I had a pretty good understanding of the text because I brought in the larger novel as a whole and what it was about as well as gave a detailed account of what was happening in this passage. I also gave a prerequisite, as in talking about the very first conversation Tommy had with Miss Lucy about his art which was a few years before this conversation which was crucial to this conversation in this excerpt. 
• I felt as though I could have given more background information but I was worried about going over the time mark.

Criteria B: 6

• I feel confident about what I said about the literary devices used in this excerpt but, given that it was just me who was talking, I felt like I was almost forgetting what I had already said and may have been repetitive in what I talked about. Comparably, in this same way I feel like I was going back to a device I had already talked about after another one would jog a point I felt like I needed to make. I felt like I had a good understanding of the devices used but I worry that I accidentally may not have been as organized with explaining them as I could have been. I definitely think I needed to say explicitly what effect my literary devices had on the readers and I believe I may have forgotten that. 

Criteria C: 4

• This ties into what I was saying above. I feel like I may have been a little bit unorganized given that I was trying to remember points I had already made and was trying to make sure what I was saying was clear at the same time. I felt like I knew what I needed to talk about, though.

Criteria D: 3

• I felt like overall my IOC was coherent and able to be understood. I did have a few pauses as I would sort of lose track of what I was saying, but that's sort of a given when you're the only one that's talking. I thought my language was clear and appropriate.
