Excellent
The one-act play follows the proposed structure, and there is a clear beginning, middle, and end. The play has the right number of characters and includes dialogue.
Dialogue
Needs Work

Good
The dialogue is somewhat realistic and interesting. Lines are short; characters occasionally interrupt one another, etc.
Excellent
The dialogue is realistic and interesting. Lines are short; characters interrupt one another, repeat lines, answer questions with questions, and change the subject abruptly (follow mode of real conversation)
Development
Needs Work
The scene is extremely undeveloped. The copy looks like an initial draft.
Fair
As the scene unfolds, the reader gains little insight into the characters, their fears, and the conflict. The reader is left without much information on the characters and/or their situations.
Good
As the scene unfolds, the reader gains some insight into the characters, their fears, and the conflict. Holes may exist, but the situation is explained and explored.
Excellent
As the scene unfolds, the reader gains sufficient insight into the characters, their fears, and the conflict. Scene either pits a character with his/her greatest fear or new alliances develop.
Characters
Needs Work
Characters are not layered or interesting. They are one-dimensional, identical, and/or unnecessary.
Fair
Characters are somewhat interesting. Fears, interests, personality are only slightly revealed. Characters are similar to one another. It's unclear why some characters are there.
Good
Characters are interesting. Fears, interests, personality are briefly explored, but characters might be similar to one another. Each character has a reason to be in the scene.
Excellent
Characters are interesting. Fears, interests, & personality are explored, characters are unique. Characters are not too similar. Each character has a reason to be in the scene.
Presentation, grammar
Needs Work
One-act is sloppily written, hard to read. No title present and spelling and grammatical errors are so many that the play is nearly or is unreadable.
Fair
One-act is typed, or written, but incomplete. There is no title and there are many spelling and grammatical errors that distract from understanding of the play.
Good
One-act is typed, or written out. Title appears, but may be generic and there are some grammatical or spelling errors but they don't distract from understanding of the play.
Excellent
One-act is typed, or neatly written out. The play has a unique title and there are almost no grammatical or spelling errors.
