Creative Fiction: Genre Writing
Creative Fiction: Genre Writing
Plan: This rubric will be used to assess students' story "snips" in Chapter XII. Students' stories should bring the moment in the fairy ring alive using descriptive visceral and conceptual details. Compelling language, sensory details, and magical elements should mimic Gaiman's prose style.

Organization
Sequencing
Exceeds Expectations
The piece is exceptionally put together, with every word in the story exceptionally crafted for a clearly explained purpose used to advance the plot, narrative or characters.
Meets Expectations
The piece is pieced in a way that is consistent and competent. Details are placed in a logical order, but the way in which they are presented/introduced sometimes makes the writing less interesting.
Emerging Proficient
The piece is poorly pieced together, with only a vague attempt at consistency. Some details are not in a logical or expected order, and this distracts the reader.
Needs Work
The piece is haphazardly pieced together, with little to no regard for consistency. Many details are not in a logical or expected order.
Conflict
Faithful to character
Exceeds Expectations
There are three genuine fears that attempt to lure the narrator and clear uses of texts for calming the character. Transitions are used to effectively keep the story moving.
Meets Expectations
Three fears are explored int the piece and texts are included for calming the character. Transitions are used to keep the story moving.
Emerging Proficient
Three fears are included in the piece and texts are used for calming the character, althought it is not clear how or why they are calming. Some transitions are used, but seem awkward.
Needs Work
Fears are introduced in the piece and texts are included for calming the character, althought it is not clear why the narrator is afraid nor how or why they are calming. There are few or no transitions.
Tone
Faithful to original
Exceeds Expectations
Characters behave as they would in the original story. Setting is tied to the fair ring, and there is evidence of something magical or supernatural. Story reads exactly like Gaiman's story.

Emerging Proficient
Characters behave differently from original. Fairy ring setting and/or magic is only briefly touched on. Story does not read like other chapters in the book.
Needs Work
Story wildly differs from original, in characterization, setting, and use of magic. Story reads like it is from a completely different book.
