Figures of Speech (Metaphors, etc.)

Below expectations

Metaphors and similes are few and far between, with no thoughtful employment of comparison.
Approaching Expectations

Some metaphors and similes are present. They are not derivative, yet they also are not truly creative. Too little of one of the figures of speech and too many of another.
Meets expectations

Metaphors and similes are interesting and somewhat memorable. A good balance of both, yet none truly stand out.
Exceeds Expectations

Metaphors and similes are fun, interesting, and original. Figures of speech give meaning and depth to the literary elements while actively engaging the reader. Multiple examples of such exciting language.
Originality and Revision

Below expectations

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.
Approaching Expectations

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.
Meets expectations

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.
Exceeds Expectations

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.
