Fair
You included some dialogue but it did not significantly add to the development of the mystery. There is some perspective of the character present, but it is inconsistent. The emotions of the character are expressed at times but not sufficiently or may be stated without being shown through actions or events. The requirements for punctuating dialogue are generally correctly applied but with some lapses.
Good
Great use of meaningful dialogue! The character's perspective is clear and the characters feelings and emotions are consistent and present throughout. You do a great job of conveying the character's emotions through actions and events, rather than simply telling the reader, and through this, the reader really cares about what happens to your characters. The requirements for punctuating dialogue are fully applied with few errors.
Outstanding
Exceeds grade level expectations. Your dialogue vividly depicts the period and each character shows a distinct "voice" which helps the reader gain a fuller understanding of his/her inner thoughts and feelings. The requirements for punctuating dialogue are fully applied with no errors.
Required length/number of entries
0-5
Poor
Your story is too short to fully develop the characters and plot.
Fair
Your story is close to the required length but not quite there and it is difficult for you to fulfill the task as a result. On the other hand, your piece may be a bit too long, wandering around with little sense of direction.
Good
Your story is long enough to fully develop the characters and plot and to solve the mystery, but is not so long that your readers get bored!
Outstanding
