Ideas:

Just Beginning

My paragraph does not flow well from one idea to the next. It lacks clarity and is hard to understand what the main idea is.
On the Way

Though my paragraph is constructed well, the sentences are still a bit scattered and unclear. The main idea needs to be a little more clearer.
Halfway Home

I develop a main idea but the rest of my details do not align well with my main idea.
Almost There

My main idea is right on target. My ideas are apparent to the reader, but still may not be 100% clear towards the end of the paragraph.
Ready to Share

My paragraph grabs the readers' attention. I construct ideas together which work well with one another and make sense. I use many details to support my main idea.
Organization:

Just Beginning

My paragraph is unorganized and hard to understand. There are opposing sentences found within my paragraph that are off topic from my main idea.
On the Way

My paragraph is organized well, but still has random sentences throughout the beginning, middle, and end that are not necessarily important.
Halfway Home

I organize my paragraph with a well-understood beginning, middle, and end, but can develop more details throughout the paragraph.
Almost There

My details are noticeable in my paragraph and my paragraph contains many transitional words that allow flow to the organization. However, the paragraph contains a few sentences that could easily be arranged.
Ready to Share

I organize a paragraph so it focuses on the main idea of my paragraph but also includes the crucial details that add to the main idea. It also holds the reader's interest.
Voice:

Just Beginning

My writing doesn't reflect a personal connection. (I do not relate to topic) My writing doesn't involve the reader/audience.
On the Way

Though I address my audience a few times in the paragraph, I do not work to connect the audience from beginning to end.
Halfway Home

My paragraph genuinely wants to capture the readers' attention, but lacks a strong sense of purpose. But, it does make attempt to involve the reader.
Almost There

I involve the reader in my paragraph and make my voice noticeable. However, there are a few times in the paragraph where my voice dies out. Keep it alive!
Ready to Share

My paragraph speaks to my audience genuinely AND effectively!
Word Choice:

Just Beginning

I did not use a strong sense of vocabulary in the paragraph. The sentences I have chosen are quite bland.
On the Way

My paragraph has a select few of vocabulary words, but most of my words are bland and boring. Time to implement captivating words for my audience!
Halfway Home

I use words that are effective and contain good word choice, but still do not convey the intended message to the reader.
Almost There

The reader captures my message through my word choice, but the paragraph still lacks a certain level of energy and trust from me.
Ready to Share

Sentence Fluency:

Just Beginning

The sentences I have selected are choppy and in-cohesive.
On the Way

An apparent effort has been made to put my sentences together well, but they are very short and dull sentences that lack rhythm.
Halfway Home

My sentences vary in length, but the reader still does not experience a sense of range between sentences.
Almost There

My paragraph is right on target in using the correct range between sentences, but it still lacks a certain rhythm that captures my audience.

Conventions:

My errors in spelling, punctuation, capitalization, grammar & usage; make my paragraph difficult to read.
On the Way

Though my paragraph is constructed well, it contains multiple grammatical errors, but punctuation and spelling are few.
Halfway Home
