Memoir
Very well done
(N/A)
OK
(N/A)
Needs improvement
(N/A)
a well developed Theme
Very well done
The theme is indicated in the title, in the introduction and recapitulated in the resolution. However, it may not be directly, literally stated.
OK
The theme is indicated in a couple of places, but not in all three.
Needs improvement
The theme is unclear.
Plot or narrative arc
Very well done
The plot develops toward a climax and is resolved effectively. The plot demonstrates a conflict that provides tension. The plot expresses the theme.
OK
The plot is a little weak, either due to a lack of tension and conflict, or a failure in the resolution.
Needs improvement
The narrative arc falls flat.
Description
Very well done
The memoir contains description that convinces the readers of the memoir's reality. The description might be dialogue, description of a place or person, or the details of a character's internal thoughts.
OK
There is a balance between showing and telling, but the description is not very vivid.
Needs improvement
We don't really have a sense of the place, the atmosphere, the characters or the events. The memoir is too general and abstract to be convincing.
Settting
Very well done
We have a lively sense of place and time, which helps to shape the memoir.
OK
We know where and when the memoir happened.
Needs improvement
We are not entirely clear about where and when the events took place.
Characters
Very well done
The characters are convincing. They fit into the memoir well and help to develop the theme or big idea.
OK
The characters are interesting. We can connect with them.
Needs improvement
The characters are a little unrealized. They may not be described well, or they may be too general or stereotyped.
Expression
Very well done
The memoir is well written. The vocabulary is well chosen. There are no mistakes in grammar, spelling, or punctuation.
OK
There are not many mistakes in grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
Needs improvement
There are so many mistakes in grammar, spelling, and punctuation that they interfere in our reading experience.
