Show Don't Tell

Not Sufficiently in line with Expec

The author writes clearly, but has not developed ideas enough for the reader to engage personally with the piece and draw his or her own conclusions or have feelings about the writing.
Approaching Expectations

The author occasionally uses examples of "show, don't tell", but this strategy could be developed more in the piece. To often the author either "tells" the reader something or "shows" too briefly.
Meets Expectations

The author includes many examples of "show, don't tell" and only occasionally lapses into "telling".
Above Expectations

The author does not lecture the reader, but shows the audience with example how to interpret a situation. This causes the reader to be drawn into the situation and to draw upon his/her own experience.
Word choice

Not Sufficiently in line with Expec

Word choice is flawed: some words appear chosen to "impress" the reader or fail to invoke imagery or are confusing.
Approaching Expectations

Meets Expectations

Meets Expectations

Author often uses literary devices and frequently these are original, adding to the tone, voice and sensorial quality.
Above Expectations

Sentence Fluency

Not Sufficiently in line with Expec

Mostly correct sentence structure is used, but there are some incomplete or run-on sentences. The phrasing does not add to the piece.
Approaching Expectations

Sentences are technically correct, but not varied. Mostly simple and compound sentences are used. The piece is mostly correct in terms of sentence structure, but lacks fluidity, variety.
Meets Expectations

Many of the sentences are varied in structure and add to the flow of the piece, often creating a sense of fluidity. Author is beginning to use phrases and clauses to link ideas in creative ways.
Above Expectations

All 4 sentence types are used artistically to create a flow and cadence to the writing. In addition, appositives, participial and prepositional phrases and adj. and adv. clauses link ideas in interesting ways.
Voice

Not Sufficiently in line with Expec

Author relies on reader to interpret cliches or phrases such as "It was frightening." Occasionally the author surprises the reader with an insight, but rarely is there any risk-taking or passion.
Approaching Expectations

Voice is starting to support the purpose of the piece, but is inconsistent. Tone is mostly flat and author does not take personal risks.
Meets Expectations

Voice supports author's purpose and usually engages reader. It has moments of insight or risk-taking. Mostly, the tone moves in the right direction for the piece
