Stays on Topic

Excellent

The writer stays on topic, does not go off on any tangents, and sends a clear message that tries to persuade the reader to the writer's point-of-view
Good

The writer mostly stays on topic, slightly goes off on a tangent, but has a message that tries to persuade the reader to the writer's point-of-view
Fair

The writer somewhat stays on topic, but the topic begins to become unclear to the reader, and the persuasive message is only slightly clear
Rewrite

The writer does not stay on topic, so the reader is confused and not at all persuaded by the message, or the essay completely lacks a message
