Organization (10)	Exceeds/Meets Expectations Whether ending or retelling the entire story, the events in the student's version follow a logical progression; the beginning makes sense, the events that follow work toward a build-up, or climax, then are resolved to the audience's satisfaction.	Almost Meets Expectations The progression of the story is bumpy; certain elements essential to the flow of the story may be lacking development.	Fails to Meet Expectations The story does not proceed in a logical fashion; key parts of the plot are clearly absent.
Details (10)	Exceeds/Meets Expectations The tone of the original story and genre is retained; original settings are accurately portrayed along with some realistic new additions; descriptive language is apparent and affords the audience great imagery; dialogue that is provided is realistic and helps develop characters; original characters retain their personas and new characters are provided their own.	Almost Meets Expectations Most or all of the original elements are apparent; however, further development of settings or characters or plot would have benefitted the audience.	Fails to Meet Expectations Some of the story's required details were not apparent or they lacked sufficient development.
Pacing (5)	Exceeds/Meets Expectations The story's events move along at an enjoyable and entertaining pace.	Almost Meets Expectations Some parts of the story move along too quickly or too slowly.	Fails to Meet Expectations The story's lack of sensible pacing makes it difficult to understand.
Presentation Criteria (5)	Exceeds/Meets Expectations The student makes eye contact with many parts of the audience and uses expressive voices and actions; the student's volume is suitable for the venue.	Almost Meets Expectations The student needed to make more of a connection with the audience, whether that was through eye contact or presentation techniques; the student's volume may have been inconsistent.	Fails to Meet Expectations The student needed to make considerably more eye contact along with adding in some expressions and volume.
