Introduction
Needs Work
There is no organization. The paper just begins with a main point.
Effective
The introduction is vague. Either we don't know exactly what the topic is, or we don't know whom the writer is addressing.
Exceptional
The introduction lets the reader know what to expect in the paper. The topic is defined. The audience is addressed. It is well written and thoughtful.
Variety
Needs Work
The writer does not include a variety of the basic patterns of rhetoric. This lack of variety makes the essay boring.
Effective
The writer includes description, definition and examples. The writer includes mini-narratives, so that we understand how the habits apply to life.
Exceptional
The writer includes description, definition, and examples, as well as mini-narratives. The writer combines the rhetorical patterns so well that a reader is both engaged in the essay and convinced by it.
Structure and coherence

The writer just plops down stuff.
Effective
The writer has organized her or his ideas and presents them in a way that is easy to understand.

In addition to organizing and presenting the material in a way that is easy to understand, the ideas fit together well. There are no digressions.

Exceptional
The conclusion reminds us of the major points in the essay. We understand why this topic is important. In addition, the writer has included an engaging anecdote or has included some parting comment to the audience. Readers feel that the writer has "said good bye."
Mechanics
Needs Work
There are so many mistakes in spelling, grammar and punctuation that we do not understand the content easily.
Effective
We notice some minor mistakes, but they do not interfere with our understanding.
Exceptional
We can concentrate on the content and enjoy the way the writer has phrased his or her ideas and insights. It is a pleasure to read this essay.
Clarity
Needs Work
The vocabulary does not convey the ideas clearly. The paragraphs do not correspond to the development of the ideas.
Effective
The paragraphs are not well developed, or they have more than one idea in each one. Some words are used too often, so that the meaning is either lost or becomes vague.
Exceptional
The paragraphs develop one major idea per paragraph, or clarify the idea in the previous paragraph. Word choice is thoughtful and precise.
