Narration/POV

The writer is telling the story from start to finish

Model

The writer used the pronoun I to tell the story. All events are in order.
Average

The writer told the story from their point of view but did not always use I. Most events are in order.
Needs Work

It is unclear who is speaking as the writer slips into another point of view. The events are out of order.
Needs Helps

Story is not from the writer's point of view. There are no clear events
No Evidence
Characters

The characters act and feel like real life people.

Model

The writer creates complex characters by showing them in action, describing how they look & act.
Average

The writer creates characters by describing who they are, what they look like, gestures, and expressions.
Needs Work

The writer only vaguely refers to characters (for example, I talk about "my brother" but never say his name, how he acts, etc.).
Needs Helps

The writer leaves significant characters out or they are not described well.
No Evidence
Setting

Specific descriptions bring the location alive with sensory detail

Model

The entire paper is full of excellent description. I can see the story happening.
Average

The details are appropriate and at times create some visualization.
Needs Work

Verbs do not make sense. Lack of adjectives and specific details make it difficult to picture what the writer is trying to say.
Needs Helps

Paper is dry. Maybe a single attempt to create visualization.
No Evidence
Dialogue Extension

A conversation is used to move the story along and add to it

Model

The dialogue is used to reveal insight into the characters. It is clear who is speaking and characters act and react during conversation
Average

Dialogue is evident and it is clear who is speaking.
Needs Work

The dialogue is weak and sketchy.
Needs Helps

No conversation takes place since there is only one piece of dialogue
No Evidence
