Character Blog
	Excellent 15 pts	Good 13 pts	Fair 12 pts	Poor 10 pts
Writing Content	Excellent The posts accurately & interestingly represent the chosen character's thoughts and feelings. Details are true to the text.	Good The posts reflect the characters to some degree, but the student could have expressed the character's point of view in a more detailed way.	Fair It is unclear how some posts relate to the text. Some of the content seems irrelevant to the character.	Poor Authors have paid little attention to the chosen character and written little to show their understanding of the text. Posts are too short and possibly too few.
Design	Excellent Elements on the page match each other and seem to be part of a clear overall plan to show something about the character. A wide range of elements is included in the blog.	Good Elements on the page are somewhat haphazard. At least some of them seem to have been chosen to represent the character, but some do not match well.	Fair There is little attention to design and no particular thought to what the character might choose.	Poor There is no design element chosen by the student.
Requirements	Excellent Not only are all the requirements met (6 journal entries, 2 poems, 5 photos, 1 video), the authors have gone above and beyond what was asked.	Good The requirements were met, but the student did not put forth any additional information.	Fair The requirements are mostly met, and no extra effort is represented on the blog.	Poor Only a few of the requirements have been met.
Mechanics	Excellent The content shows a variety of vocabulary and sentence structure. Editing has eliminated all typos and grammar is exemplary.	Good Though there are some typos, most of the content is pretty clear.	Fair Sentence structure may not be varied. Grammar is occasionally confused. The reader gets distracted by grammatical errors.	Poor The blog is filled with spelling and grammar mistakes; it is difficult to follow. Sentences are confusing and sentence structure may not be varied.
