Other Work Samples for:

Shannon has demonstrated detailed and extensive knowledge of the cultural history of the Depression in a well constructed and sustained response. Information has been synthesised to differentiate the typical experiences in the Depression for men, women, children, those unemployed and the wealthy. It starkly contrasts the experiences of rich and poor, and demonstrates attitudes of many of the wealthy. Although the explanation of the impacts is more explicit in the first letter than the second, the response perceptively communicates the experiences of the chosen individuals. The use of historical terms is not completely accurate, but this response still displays characteristics of work typically produced by a student perfroming at grade A standard.

Grade A
