Understanding the rubric for English URGENT HELP

Jolly joy

Text I'm doing is Things Fall Apart.

I was wondering if anybody can help me understand the medium and high range of the English rubric for analytical essays?
I'm not sure how to upload a picture from gallery but if anybody know pls let me know so I can share the rubric here.
From thr medium range it says things like "engages with ideas and/or values presented in the text, including discussion of characters, setting and other aspects of the text"
For high or says
"Explains interconnected ideas and values presented in the text including discussion of characters, setting and other aspects of the text"
For that area I got low which was
" Describes characters and concerns in the text"

I wanted to know what it meant in high and medium and how I can get that? I read past essays thay scored really good marks to help me improve in that before the prac sac but I feel like the rubric will help me better

The main diffrence between medium and high was (engage-medium) and (explain-high) I really want to kneo what constitutes them?

The actual sac is early next week so any response before next week would help
Thank you

Tbh that makes alot more sense now
I don't really talk about how a chrac relates to a theme
It's something I neglect
Thank you! I'll try practising that and including it in my writing

hi! Based on how my teacher's broken down rubrics for us in the past, I'd say that 'discussion' would involve a multi-faceted approach to the characters, like talking about different aspects. Basically making the analysis of characters relevant to the 'concerns' explored in the text, such as why the important is relevant to highlight certain ideas, and how the author does that. And I guess the "describe" one is limited to just characters and concerns, whereas the higher end of the rubric involves not only characters but also other aspects, which could be setting, context and narrative arc. To go in-depth, you could also include analysis of the character's journey, how they changed or why they did/did not change. Hope that helps!
