Literary Elements (Imagery, Tone)
Does Not Meet Standards
Usage of imagery, diction, and tone is slim to non-existent. Instances of such are derivative and not well thought out. Few, if any, senses are used to create concrete images. Tone is either off-mark or not apparent. No thoughtfulness perceived.
Below Standards
Imagery, diction, and tone are somewhat interesting. Few senses are realized in the language of the poem. The poem is somewhat thought out. Tone is somewhat developed, yet not strong enough to be truly memorable.
Meeting Standards
Some concrete images arise in the reader's mind. The poem is good, but not memorable. A cursory usage of descriptive language with more than two appeals to the senses.
Exceeding Standards
Imagery, diction, and tone are concrete and appeal to multiple senses. The poem personifies thoughtful descriptive language, interesting imagery, and an appropriate tone according to the poet's intent. Memorable and thought-provoking.
Sound Devices (Rhyme, Alliteration)
Does Not Meet Standards
Little to no usage of sound devices. Musicality of poem is nonexistent. The poem trudges along and is truly unvaried.
Below Standards
Cursory usage of sound devices, with some nice usage of alliteration, assonance, etc. While decent, the poem still lacks a certain musicality that would make it flow better.
Meeting Standards
Good usage of sound devices. Some devices give the poem a nice flow, yet they are too far apart to make the poem cohesive as a whole.
Exceeding Standards
Rhyme, alliteration, consonance, and assonance create a flowing, organic musical quality to the poem. Multiple thoughtful, well placed, and easy to hear examples in oral reading.
Originality and Revision
Does Not Meet Standards
Poem shows virtually no originality or voice. Little to no revision was made between the drafts. Poem has little imagery and sound quality. No title. The poem is not creative and appears to be rushed. This is evident in too obvious meaning and a lack of originality.
Below Standards
Poem shows a fair amount of originality and thoughtfulness, yet it is sprinkled with cliche ideas/idioms. Some revision between drafts has cursory language, imagery, and sound quality. Title is uninteresting. <BR>
The poem is creative, but appears to be rushed.
Meeting Standards
Poem is thoughtful and creative. A couple of phrases or ideas may be revisited, but the overall product is carefully written. Good, thoughtful revision between drafts. Title is good.
Exceeding Standards
Poem has an engaging title. It is faithful to the overall theme of a sonnet. It is evident that the poet put thought into the diction and was innovative in conveying the ideas and emotions of the sonnet. Revision is thoughtful and apparent.
