Response is minimally developed with simple ideas on how to find the ring's owner (e.g... I was walking in the park and i found a ring on the group.. I went for a closer look... went to all the people's houses that had the initials ZC.. the owner went to a town abit farther away, so I woke up really early.. and found her) and simple supporting details (e.g... saw that there initials on it. "ZC" was engraved in the front.). Organization is minimal with weak links between ideas (e.g One time I remember.. So I picked it up.. So I went home.. It took me days.. But the last door.. and went to the address and returned it.. and after she gave me...). 

Response is partly related to teh assigned task.

Response has a clear focus and is adequately developed with ideas on finding the ring's owner (eg... pulled the ring tout of the crack.. I spotted something engraved on the inside... I can finally get the extra 100 dollars I need to buy the Ipod I want or I can return the ring.. I wouldn't be that hard.. I finally gave up... it was his all along.) and supporting details (e.g .. it was a beautiful white ring with gold circling the top and bottom of the ring... "BM" that's what the engravings said.. it said " if found please return to 1486 rid rd costa rica..." the initials were BM Ben McG..... and 1586 Rid rd that was my grand fathers address....._ Organization is simple with adequate links between ideas (e.g... I was walking.. I saw something.. I walked over... I tried pulling.. I through to my self I through and I thought and fianlly came to a conclusion.. Then I was on my way... we finally go there.. as we drove ... When we go to house...   I returned the ring and had a popsicle.) Response is clearly related to the assigned task.

Response has a clear focus and is well-developed with sufficient ideas about how to find the ring's owner ( eg,... I saw the most beautiful ring ever!... I knew it was bad, but I wanted to keep it... it was their fault, he/she lost this... they should've been more responsible.. I could sell it and get alot of money or keep it until I get marry... problem was, that my initials aren't LB... I heard this loud snobbing sound.. I asked what is wrong... I asked what is your name? I think about the initials L.B.. I just had to give it to her... I was still sad to see it go...) and relevant supporting details (e.g... it was shing.. so bright.. it wasnt some plastic ring you get claire's was gold; real gold! this girl look, so helpless... it has my initials L.B in fancy letters, in silver too...). Organization is logical with effective links between ideas (e.g One time... I rane up to it... When I picked it up.. I then think ... What were the chances of the owner finding it... when I was walking... I sat beside on the bench... As much as I wanted to keep it... I know I did the right thing...) Response has a thorough relantionship to the assigned task. 

"Ring on the Side Walk" Varun answer

Today was my violin class. I had to go by myself. I knew the route but I felt unsafe. While walking I stepped on something hard. I didn't know what it was so I looked down and I saw a gold ring! I thought I hit the jackpot, I could sell this at a jewerly store but after closely insepting it. It had the Initials of someone. Disapointed I walked to the police station but still admiring it. While walking a police officer saw me and told me to stop, I stoped. He said I was under arest for theft. I told him he must have been mistaken but he replied "that's what the last person said", Still confused and worrying about my class I went to the police station. The police chef seeing the ring told me to give it back and I did. But at the last moment I told him everything and thankfully he belived me. After the mess I went back to my violin class just in to find out that it was over but I still needed to do the class and when I came back I had to explain it all to my parents. Then they received a phone call from the police saying that I have found the police chef's ring and that he had dropped it while going to work.
