Poor The student chose only a minor character to characterize/ analyze, OR chose all minor characters.
Character Analysis/ Description	Good The student shows knowledge of the character by accurately depicting them and their traits. They write the way the character would speak in the novel OR they write traits that can be verified by looking at their actions in the book.	Fair The student shows knowledge of the character however they name 1 or 2 traits that aren't accurate. OR The student writes in the voice of the character and says 1 or 2 things that aren't what the character would say/ do.	Poor The student's characterization shows no knowledge of the character. OR The student's writing of the character absolutely does not capture the character's voice.
Writing	Good Student's handwriting is neat and legible. There are no spelling, grammar, punctuation, and/or capitalization issues. (For diary entries: the student writes in the way they feel the character would write, and it is accurate.)	Fair Student handwriting is legible however could be neater. There are minor speling, grammar, punctuation, and/or capitalization issues. (For diary entries: the student writes in the way they feel the character would write, but it is not completely accurate. It may be exaggerated or underdeveloped.)	Poor Student handwriting is not legible or is sloppy. There are major spelling, grammar, punctuation, and/or capitalization issues. (For diary entries: writing flaws that are supposed to be attributed to the way the character would write are incorrect or too numerous.)
Presentation/ Appearance	Good The project clearly shows effort: it is clean, decorated, and neat. The student presented it in a clear manner.	Fair The project shows some effort but could use more work: it is not decorated as nice as it could be, a bit sloppy, and perhaps crinkled. The student presented but spoke softly or was unclear.	Poor The project shows little to no effort: it is not decorated, is completely in pencil (and it wasn't an artistic choice), and is messy. The student did not present.
