Scoring guide for 2 points Answer must be Complete & specific. . • Good enough to be an A when compared to the sample 2 • Used Key words from the text • Explanation in the student’s own words • Used Specific details from the passage (“text-based details”) • Sufficient information to show a thorough understanding
2 point - example In a rain forest there are birds and insects and animals in the canopy layer, but the sun can’t get though the canopy to grow plants on the ground like in a jungle. A jungle has thick plants covering the ground and the canopy isn’t so thick.
2 point - example In ajungle, sunlight goes through the canopy & the plants on the ground are so thick a person can’t walk through them. A rain forest has such a thick canopy of treetops the sunlight can’t get through. This means the ground doesn’t have plants.
2 point - example Jungles are in places like river banks and cleared fields where the sunlight can get through. The sun makes the plants grow on the ground. Rain forests have a canopy so thick the sun can’t get in to make things grow on the ground.

This answer is backwards. A rain forest is so thick you can’t walk through it. A jungle isn’t. 0 points
Did not answer the question. The canopy looks like an umbrella from an airplane. The tops of the trees grow together so much that all you can see is a sea of dark green. There are actually thousands of trees making up the canopy and sometimes they’re 200 feet tall. 0 points
