Paragraph Content

Excellent

The paragraph contains a clearly focused topic sentence that relates to the assignment.
There are multiple concrete details in the paragraph that are clear and specific, and there are enough focused explanations of details to fully support author's main idea.
Good

The paragraph contains a topic sentence that relates to the assignment. Concrete detail is clear and specific, but explanations do not fully support the author's main idea and need to be fleshed out a bit more fully.
Fair

At least one sentence is not clear nor does it relate to the assignment. There is a detail, but it is not clear, specific, and thorough enough to defend the main idea. The explanation is not clear, specific and thorough enough to explain the detail.
Poor

There is no apparent attention to the assignment in the paragraph.
Detail is lacking and no explanation of detail in paragraph.
Attention to Task

Excellent

The paragraph effectively unifies the author's main idea. Writing style is confident, concrete, and addresses all points of the task.
Good

The paragraph unifies the author's main idea, but it is not very engaging or interesting (too much restating or redundancies). Attention to task may at times be forgotten.
Fair

The paragraph makes a point about the author's main idea, but it does not address the task fully. It is as if words were written to fill up space rather than to make a strong point.
Poor

There is no main idea evident in the paragraph, or the content written is not related to the task.
Overall Organization

Excellent

The details are in a clear effective order and the author groups like ideas together and sticks to a logical structure. Arguments are covered thoroughly and given about the same amount of space.
Good

The concrete detail is in a clear order and the author sticks to a set pattern. Arguments are given roughly the same space.
Fair

The concrete detail is in a discernible order, but the author does not stick to one pattern in the paragraph, or the detail does not adequately support the author's argument.
Poor

No discernible organization. Detail is either missing or not in any discernible order.
Mechanics

Excellent

Few (if any) errors in punctuation, spelling, grammar, or capitalization.
Good

A few minor errors in punctuation, spelling, grammar, or capitalization, but they do not detract from the overall meaning and effectiveness of the essay.
Fair

A few errors in punctuation, grammar, spelling, and capitalization that, while distracting, still get meaning and intent of the essay across.
Poor

Distracting and major errors in grammar, punctuation, spelling, and capitalization.
