Organization

Sequencing
4

The short story 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.
3

The short story 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.
2

The short story 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.
1

The short story is haphazardly pieced together, with little to no regard for consistency. Many details are not in a logical or expected order.
Plot

4

There is a clear beginning, middle and end, with plot, character and narrative elements being referenced to advance key points in the story. Transitions are used to effectively keep the story moving.
3

There is a clear beginning, middle and end that is clear and consistent. Transitions are used to keep the story moving.
2

There are some events that indicate a beginning, middle or end, but only two or less are present. Some transitions are used, but seem awkward.
1

There are no events indicating a beginning, middle and/or end. There are few or no transitions.
Tone

Faithful to original
4

Characters behave as they would in the original story. Setting is tied to the cafe, and there is evidence of something magical or supernatural. Story reads exactly like a chapter from the original book.
3

Characters behave more or less as they would from the original. Story mostly reads like a chapter from original, with a few differences.
2

Characters behave differently from original. Cafe setting and/or magic is only briefly touched on. Story does not read like other chapters in the book.
1

Story wildly differs from original, in characterization, setting, and use of magic. Story reads like it is from a completely different book.
Reader Appeal

4

The story captivates the reader immediately, and fully engages the reader to immerse in the narrative using exceptionally effective writing skills to create a tone and/or theme.
3

The story effectively catches the reader's attention, and directs that attention to further immerse the reader.
2

The story attempts to catch the reader's attention, but does so in a way that makes little sense to the rest of the story.
1

The story does not attempt to catch the reader's attention in the opening sentence.
