==== 🧩 Week 2 · Ambiguous Concepts Discussion ====

===== Rubric-Based Evaluation =====

===== Identification of Ambiguous Concept or Word (10 pts) =====

Strengths:
• The essay explicitly identifies language ambiguity as the central concept.
• Uses precise examples (“You shouldn’t have,” “We saw her duck”) that clearly demonstrate multiple interpretations.

Areas for Improvement:
• Briefly define ambiguity in language in your own words to reinforce understanding before giving examples.
• Add a short transition connecting the concept definition to your personal story for smoother flow.

Points: 10 / 10

===== Explanation of Challenges Posed (30 pts) =====

Strengths:
• The childhood story effectively illustrates how ambiguity causes misunderstanding and emotional distress.
• The narrative shows cause and effect clearly—how missing context led to misinterpretation.

Areas for Improvement:
• Explain the thinking process that led to the misunderstanding (what assumptions were made, how critical thinking could have changed the reaction).
• Strengthen the connection between the story and the broader concept of how ambiguity affects reasoning or decision-making.

Points: 28 / 30

===== Resolution of Ambiguity (30 pts) =====

Strengths:
• Insightfully discusses that added details or clarifying questions could have resolved the confusion.
• Recognizes perspective, syntax, and semantics as contributing factors.

Areas for Improvement:
• Elaborate briefly on how critical thinking strategies—such as verifying information or checking assumptions—help reduce ambiguity.
• Clarify your closing point by summarizing what lesson was learned from this experience.

Points: 27 / 30

===== Response to Classmates (20 pts) =====

(Pending; not included in this individual essay.)
Points: 0 / 20

===== Writing Style (10 pts) =====

Strengths:
• Clear, engaging storytelling with improved grammar and flow.
• Smooth transitions between ideas and strong voice throughout.

Areas for Improvement:
• Watch for minor word errors (“my home was not fire” → “my home was not on fire”).
• Recheck punctuation for comma placement in longer sentences to improve readability.

Points: 9 / 10

===== Total: 74 / 100 (B-) =====

(Projected grade before discussion replies; may increase with peer responses and small edits.)

Overall Feedback:
This is a polished, insightful revision that demonstrates clear understanding of language ambiguity. The personal story is strong and connects well to the concept. To reach the top range, expand slightly on how critical thinking (questioning, clarifying, analyzing assumptions) could help prevent or resolve ambiguous situations.
