Well executed characterization via choice of symbols and images. All required elements incl size, design, placement, texture, neatness. Overall effect is attractive and character is identifiable through appropriate representative details.

Satisfactory execution of characterization throughout but there might be an issue with required elements incl size, design, placement, texture or neatness. Evidence a plan is in effect. Aesthetically pleasing overall.

Some ideas are executed okay but there is likely a problem with the finished product. Size of collage may not meet requirements. Limited use of space; might have some empty spaces on the backing.

Obviously lacking a plan. Lacks clarity or graphic appeal. May not clearly identify character; some items may not be ideal choices to enhance character identity or personality. May be a poster rather than a collage.

Outstanding detailed portrait of character. Well over the minimum of 15 items required demonstrating the full dimension of the character's development. Items displayed are so closely identified with character as to insure instant recognition.

Excellent detailed portrait of a character. At least 15 items that demonstrate the full dimension of the character's traits, behaviors, and personality. Character is easily identifiable by the items chosen and displayed.

Detailed portrait of a character. Minimum of 15 items to flesh out the character in terms of traits, behaviors, emotions, beliefs, etc. Character is recognizable by the items displayed.

Fair portrayal of character. Most items are easily identified with the character. Perhaps one or two items are difficult to connect to the subject of this collage. Some items are too obvious as to gender, age, or type as opposed to character traits, behaviors, or beliefs. As a result, character is two-dimensional at best.

Nondescript portrayal of chosen character. Generic items chosen rather than specific ones that would flesh out character through traits, behaviors, or beliefs. Flat, one-dimensional characterization.

All directions followed without exception.

Directions followed as required.

Directions mostly followed but might have a minor flaw.

Directions not completely followed. Something may have been overlooked or omitted.

Errors resulting from a lack of following directions adequately. Blatant lack of regard for instructions, i.e., fewer than 15 relevant items beyond quote and character name.
