	Excellent 20 pts	Good 16 pts	Needs Improvement 12 pts
Introduction and Conclusion	Excellent The introduction and conclusion work perfectly. They reinforce your meaning. Your topic and your judgment are clear. The introduction and conclusion speak to the reader.	Good The introduction and conclusion act like bookends. However, some of the "moves" your textbook recommends are not present, or the introduction and conclusion do not engage the reader.	Needs Improvement The introduction and the conclusion do not act like bookends. Your major point remains unclear.
Description	Excellent The description of the plot gives us the information we need. The additional description of characters or setting supports the main idea. The description is engaging and effective.	Good The description and/or dialogue is appropriate. However, it is not convincing because it feels stereotyped and trite due to poorly chosen vocabulary or lack of sensory details.	Needs Improvement Either there is almost no description and/or dialogue, or it is poorly developed and misapplied. In consequence, we find it hard to become involved with the memoir.
Discussion	Excellent The writer explains the issues that lead to the judgment. The choice of issues seem reasonable. The issues are clearly developed. The writer is persuasive.	Good All the bases are covered, but either the writer is still not persuasive, or the issues do not seem reasonable. The problem is one of degree and not quality.	Needs Improvement Something is missing. Either the issues are not explained, or the connection between the issues and the judgment are not made well.
Expression	Excellent The writer creates sentences and chooses vocabulary that wonderfully evoke the material. Our attention is engaged by the writing. If there are grammar mistakes they are trivial: we do not notice them.	Good The writer explains the material well. Sometimes there are mistakes in the writing which we notice. The writing just doesn't engage the reader.	Needs Improvement There are too many mistakes in the prose. In addition, the style of the writing is difficult and/or clumsy.
Citation/Integration	Excellent Correctly formatted and identified the movie "Crash."	Good Id the movie but did not consistently id correctly.	Needs Improvement No correct identification of the movie.
