Conventions
	1 Beginning 1 pts	2 Emerging 2 pts	3 Developing 3 pts	4 Capable 4 pts	5 Excperienced 5 pts	6 Exceptional 6 pts
Spelling	1 Beginning Spelling errors are frequent, even in common words.	2 Emerging Spelling is phonetic with many errors.	3 Developing Spelling on simple words is incorrect, although reader can understand.	4 Capable Spelling is usually correct or reasonably phonetic on common 8th grade level words, but not on more difficult words.	5 Excperienced Spelling on common 8th grade level words is correct but sometimes incorrect on more difficult words.	6 Exceptional Spelling is usually correct, even on more difficult words.
General Criteria	1 Beginning Errors in Conventions are the norm and repeatedly distract the reader, making text unreadable.	2 Emerging Many errors of various types of conventions are scattered through the text.	3 Developing Author continues to stumble in conventions even on simple tasks and almost always on anything trickier.	4 Capable Author has reasonable control over standard conventions for 8th grade; conventions are sometimes handled well; at other times, errors distract and impair readability.	5 Excperienced Author stretches, trying more complex tasks in conventions; mistakes still exist, all basic conventions have been mastered.	6 Exceptional Author uses standard writing conventions effectively to enhance readability; errors are few and only minor editing is needed to publish.
Punctuation	1 Beginning Punctuation is often missing or incorrect.	2 Emerging Simple end (.?!) punctuation is correct, internal (,;"":) punctuation is usually wrong or missing.	3 Developing Punctuation is inconsistent.	4 Capable End punctuation is usually correct; internal punctuation is sometimes correct for 8th grade students; all punctuation is correct.	5 Excperienced Punctuation is correct and enhances readability in all but a few places.	6 Exceptional Punctuation is correct; creative, and guides the reader through the entire piece.
Capitalization	1 Beginning Capitalization is random, inconsistent, and sometimes nonexistent.	2 Emerging Only the easiest capitalization rules are correctly applied.	3 Developing Capitalization is applied inconsistently except for proper nouns and sentence beginnings.	4 Capable Capitalization is mostly correct.	5 Excperienced Capitalization is correct; more sophisticated capitalization is used.	6 Exceptional Capitalization is thoroughly understood and consistently correct.
Grammar	1 Beginning Errors in grammar are frequent and noticeable, making writing incomprehensible.	2 Emerging Serious grammar/usage problems of every kind make comprehension difficult.	3 Developing Inappropriate grammar/usage results from heavy reliance on conversational oral language; meaning is confusing.	4 Capable Proper grammar/usage remains inconsistent and inaccurate though problems are not serious enough to distort meaning.	5 Excperienced Grammar/usage is usually correct, there are few grammar mistakes yet meaning is clear.	6 Exceptional Grammar/usage is correct and contributes to clarity and style; meaning is more than clear; piece is engaging and inviting to read.
Editing	1 Beginning Extensive editing (on virtually every line) is required to polish text for publication; reader must read once to decode, then again for meaning.	2 Emerging There is still a lot of editing required for publication; meaning is uncertain.	3 Developing Too much editing is needed to publish although piece begins to communicate meaning.	4 Capable Moderate editing (a little of this, a little of that) is required to publish; meaning is clear.	5 Excperienced Several things still need editing before publishing; conventions are more correct than not; meaning is easily communicated.	6 Exceptional Hardly any editing is needed to publish; author may successfully manipulate conventions for stylistic effect; meaning is crystal clear.
