    After reading the rhetorical analysis, Essay about the Coca-Cola commercial, "Anthem" I gave the student a B. In my opinion, the student exhibited her ability to adhere to the guidelines of the assignment. The essay was effective at showcasing a commercial created within the past 3 years, identifying the year aired, reaching her intended target audience (high school students), as well as, ensuring that the commercial was within the acceptable time limitation of 30-60 seconds. For those reasons, I gave the student a full 20 in the criteria for genre/audience.
