Author Interview Video
	Poor 1 pts	Fair 2 pts	Good 3 pts	Excellent 4 pts
Knowledge of author	Poor Very little research has been done. Students fail to convey any real knowledge of the author in video.	Fair A little more work has been put into researching the assigned author. A little more could have been done, however.	Good Covers all main points on research. Students show a definite, detailed knowledge of the author.	Excellent Students go above and beyond. They put facts in their video that I didn't even know. I'm very proud of them.
Knowledge of author's works	Poor Does not display any perceivable knowledge of the author's writings. Most of the video is fluff, or the video is incomplete.	Fair Displays knowledge of works covered in class but failed to do any outside reading.	Good Students display knowledge not only of the in-class readings but also of other works by their assigned author.	Excellent Students display extensive knowledge of the author's works, both those covered in class and extra ones that were read on their own time. They were familiar with the author's specific writing style and could compare it to other authors.
Presentation	Poor Video was poorly made or not complete. Failed to coordinate as a group the logistics of meeting to film.	Fair Not too shabby, but the video could do with some sprucing up. Using something like iMovie can be a big help in this area.	Good Well done. The video looked nice and utilized some of my recommended tools. It was the appropriate length but lacked that certain "star factor".	Excellent Very professional presentation. The video was spot-on. The quality of the actual video really added to the overall experience and made it much easier to stay interested.
Sources	Poor Little to no recognition to where you found your information.	Fair Some sources were cited, but not all. Some weren't cited properly.	Good All sources were cited.	Excellent All sources were cited in the proper MLA format.
