Criteria for Essay
	Excellent 10 pts	Good 8 pts	Fair 5 pts	Needs Attention 2 pts
Topic Sentence	Excellent Very well developed topic sentence. It contains and/or introduces the process and states the author's point about the process.	Good Topic sentence creates interest and is fairly well developed. But while it contains and/or introduces the process, it is not complete.	Fair Topic sentence introduces the process, but does not give accurate and complete information, or it lacks detail and creativity.	Needs Attention Topic sentence does not introduce the process. No point about the process is evident.
Supporting Details	Excellent Each sentence contains a clear focus that relates to the process being described. Details in the paragraph are clear and specific, and there are enough details to help the reader see and understand all the steps of process.	Good Each sentence relates to the process being described. Details are clear and specific, and the steps in the process can be followed well enough to understand the described process.	Fair Not all sentences relate to the process being described. There are details, but they are not very clear or specific, or there are not enough of them to allow the reader to follow the progression of the process.	Needs Attention Details are either wrong or lacking. They do not seem to relate to the process. Sentences are not related to the topic sentence.
Organization/Structure	Excellent Logical progression of details with a clear structure that enhances the paragraph and provides a clear step-by-step description of the process. The transitions are appropriate and used very effectively to indicate the time order of the steps.	Good Logical progression of details. Transitions are present, but they do not enhance the overall effectiveness of the paragraph. All steps are covered and in the correct order.	Fair Organization is clear. Some transitions are present, while others are either inappropriate or missing. Some steps may be missing or not in the proper order.	Needs Attention No discernible organization. Transitions are not present. Cannot discern a logical explanation of the process.
Concluding Statement	Excellent The concluding statement is the last sentence of the paragraph. It is a clear statement that repeats key words from the topic sentence and makes a clear point about the process.	Good The concluding statement effectively unifies the paragraph, but it does not make a point about the process.	Fair The concluding statement relates a conclusion to the process, but it does little to unify the paragraph around the steps of the process.	Needs Attention There is no apparent concluding statement or point made about the process.
Conventions/Mechanics	Excellent A few minor errors in punctuation, spelling, or capitalization.	Good A few minor errors in punctuation, spelling, grammar, or capitalization, but they do not detract from the overall meaning and effectiveness of the essay.	Fair A few errors in punctuation, grammar, spelling, and capitalization that while distracting, the meaning and intent of the essay can still be discerned.	Needs Attention Distracting and major errors in grammar, punctuation, spelling, and capitalization.
