Addresses Assignment

Missing Most Expectations

Assignment is minimally addressed; piece does not accurately reflect what is being asked of the writer or it does not clearly meet expectations.
Approaching Expectations

Is in the ball park of what the assignment requires, but does not thoroughly address expectations; requires more planning and/or developing of ideas to clearly address the assignment
Meets Expectations

Addresses the assignment in a clear, basic manner. Ideas are interesting and make sense.
Above Expectations

Thoroughly addresses the purpose of the assignment. Ideas are developed in a thoughtful and original manner.
Details and Examples

Missing Most Expectations

Many points are backed up only with generalities; most examples included are undeveloped or obvious.
Approaching Expectations

Some examples are included, but frequently they are predictable given the idea they support thus failing to bring a fresh perspective.
Meets Expectations

Examples are sufficient and well-developed, but several tend to be a bit over-used or obvious.
Above Expectations

Specific examples are relevant and interesting and go beyond the obvious. They engage the reader and help the ideas come alive in an original manner
Original Thinking

Missing Most Expectations

Piece uses ideas that address the assignment, but are too obvious or predictable. Ideas need to be expanded in a fresh manner.
Approaching Expectations

Piece adheres to the dictates of the genre and assignment. It sometimes is interesting, but often lapses into predictable ideas too often.
Meets Expectations

Piece adheres to the dictates of the genre and assignment in an engaging, interesting, fresh manner. Meets expectations and occasionally introduces new or unpredictable ideas.
Above Expectations

Piece is based upon original, fresh, and provocative thinking. There are many examples of abstract and/or inferential thinking that cause the reader to consider the topic in a new way.
Quotes

Missing Most Expectations

For non-fiction writing, some quotes are used, but the over-all piece needs more support.
Approaching Expectations

Some quotes are used, but either their size is in disproportion to the piece, they inadequately represent the whole book or story, or they redundantly re-state what the writer has already said.
Meets Expectations

For non-fiction writing, there are adequate quotes to support the points being made. With literary analysis, they need to be more representative of the whole book or story, not just one part.
Above Expectations

For non-fiction writing, quotes are balanced in length with the rest of the essay, and are thorough in how they support an idea. These quotes are thought-provoking and lend credibility to the over-all piece.
Sources

Missing Most Expectations

Piece is substantiated, but sources tend to be unknown or obviously biased. More attention needs to be paid to who is generating the information being used.
Approaching Expectations

Some sources are good, but others tend to be unreliable or unrecognizable. More attention needs to be paid to avoiding biased sources.
Meets Expectations

Sources for researched information are reliable, recognizable. Some attention is paid to addressing bias in sources.
Above Expectations

Sources for researched information are considered exemplary in terms of respect and reliability regardless of point of view.
