Theme:
	Excellent 5 pts	Good 3 pts	Poor 1 pts
Format	Excellent Each entry begins with bibliographic information in MLA format. The summary, subject connection (if not apparent), and analysis are identified with ease.	Good Bibliographic information in MLA format, summary, subject connection (if not apparent), and analysis may be incorrect or hard to find.	Poor Bibliographic information in MLA format, summary, subject connection (if not apparent), and/or analysis is missing.
Content	Excellent Books were written within the last ten years, are relevant to the selected theme, would be interesting to students, and are varied and substantial.	Good One or more books is older than ten years. The relevance to the selected theme is not clear. Books will not appeal to a variety of readers.	Poor Books are more than ten years old and are “good for students” rather than things that children would actually enjoy.
Summary	Excellent The summary clearly reflects the contents of the book rather than being an encouragement to read it. Connections with curriculum and theme are clear.	Good The summary is not clear or not complete. The curriculum connection and/or theme connection may need to be inferred.	Poor The summary is either incomplete or so broad that a sense of the book is not conveyed. The curriculum connection and/or theme connection is missing or unclear.
Analysis	Excellent Analysis is clear and reflective. The grade level(s), curriculum topic, and recommendations for use reflect thought about teaching and students.	Good Analysis is not clear or useful. The grade level(s) and curriculum connection are general (“good for any English class”, “for anyone interested in science”) or confusing.	Poor Analysis is either missing or generic, i.e., every book is useful. Specific information on when and how the book would be used is not given.
Conventions	Excellent Paragraphing, usage, and spelling are accurate. Sentence structure is varied. Overall, the writing reflects undergraduate student expectations.	Good Paragraphing, usage, and spelling are varied. Sentences may be complete but may not flow in readability. The writing is competent but not clearly undergraduate.	Poor Paragraphing, usage, and spelling show serious problems and lack of proofreading not befitting an undergraduate student.
