Criteria
	Poor 5 pts	Fair 10 pts	Good 15 pts	Excellent 20 pts
Literary Elements (Imagery, tone)	Poor Usage of imagery, diction, and tone is slim to non-existent. Instances of such are derivative and not well thought out. Few, if any, senses are used to create concrete images. Tone is either off-mark or not apparent. No thoughtfulness perceived.	Fair Imagery, diction, and tone are somewhat interesting. Few senses are realized in the language of the poem. The poem is somewhat thought out. Tone is somewhat developed, yet not strong enough to be truly memorable.	Good Some concrete images arise in the reader's mind. The poem is good, but not memorable. A cursory usage of descriptive language with more than two appeals to the senses.	Excellent Imagery, diction, and tone are concrete and appeal to multiple senses. The poem personifies thoughtful descriptive language, interesting imagery, and an appropriate tone according to the poet's intent. Memorable and thought-provoking.
Figures of Speech (Metaphors, etc.)	Poor Metaphors and similes are few and far between. Wholly derivative of the original poems, with no thoughtful employment of comparison.	Fair 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.	Good Metaphors and similes are interesting and somewhat memorable. A good balance of both, yet none truly stand out.	Excellent 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.
Sound Devices (Rhyme, alliteration)	Poor Little to no usage of sound devices. Musicality of poem is nonexistent. The poem trudges along and is truly boring.	Fair Cursory usage of sound devices, with some nice usage of alliteration, assonance, etc. While decent, the poem still lacks a certain musicality that would make it flow better.	Good Good usage of sound devices. Some devices give the poem a nice flow, yet they are too far apart to make the poem cohesive as a whole.	Excellent Rhyme, alliteration, consonance, and assonance create a flowing, organic musical quality to the poem. Multiple thoughtful, well placed, and easy to hear examples in oral reading.
Originality and Revision	Poor Poem shows virtually no originality or voice. Little to no revision was made between the two drafts. Poem may skew too far from "Sonnet 130" or be entirely too similar. No title.	Fair Poem shows a fair amount of originality and thoughtfulness, yet it is sprinkled with cliche ideas/idioms. Some revision between drafts. Faithfulness to the original poem is cursory, including language, imagery, and sound quality. Title is uninteresting.	Good Originality is good, but not totally impressive. Some instances of thoughtful language, imagery, and sound, yet they are sprinkled in and not truly a part of the poem. Good, thoughtful revision between the two drafts. Title is good.	Excellent Poem has a new, engaging title. It is faithful to the overall theme of Shakespeare's sonnet and employs new and original language to describe the lady. Very original in language, imagery, and sound quality. Revision is thoughtful and apparent.
Mechanics (Spelling, punctuation)	Poor Punctuation and spelling is poor and not reflective of student's true capabilities. Poor mechanics interferes with the poem's readability. No apparent revision done in mechanics.	Fair Errors are noticeable. Spelling and punctuation are fair yet not reflective of student's skills. Poem is readable, yet mistakes distract the reader. Punctuation usage is acceptable for tone of poem.	Good Few grammatical errors that do not distract the reader. Punctuation is congruent with the tone of the poem.	Excellent No punctuation or spelling errors. Shows a strong grasp of poetic language through creative use of punctuation.
Totals	Poor	Fair	Good	Excellent
