K-2 - Calkins
	Poor 1 pts	Fair 2 pts	Good 3 pts	Excellent 4 pts
Structure	Poor I can not tell what happened first. This is out of order, or has no action. No complete sentences.	Fair I can see action happening, but its out of order. Some complete sentences.	Good This looks like it makes sense, with a difference between the beginning and end. All sentences and thoughts are complete.	Excellent I can see a clear beginning, middle and end. Sentences are in an order that makes sense.
Focus	Poor I can not tell who or what you are writing about. Place moves on every pages.	Fair You are in the story, but is it about you? Story is moving from one place to another.	Good This is a story about you, what you did, or something that happened to you in ONE place, in one day. Good!	Excellent This story is clearly about one small moment in your life, and is focused on that moment in time. Not a whole day, but a short time period.
Meaning	Poor I have no idea what you are writing about, or what you want to tell your reader. You don't seem to be writing this for any reason.	Fair Story is about something, I think. I can not tell what you are trying to do, is this a story?	Good You know why you want to tell the reader this story, and I can see it.	Excellent I can see why you wanted to share this moment with a reader, and it has meaning for me too!
Elaboration	Poor Just telling facts. No story line with action. No details at all.	Fair I see some places where you told me a little more than just the facts. Maybe some feelings, at least. You used the picture to tell me details.	Good I can see you show me, not telling me something you want me to know, in the words you wrote. Picture is just a sketch, and the details are in the words.	Excellent You are describing, showing and not telling, and really working on including great details that add to the meaning of your story.
Conventions	Poor All capital letters, no spaces, no punctuation.	Fair I see some spaces, directionality and writing stays on the lines provided for the letters and words.	Good Good job with spacing, at least one sentence starts with a capital letter. There is evidence of some punctuation.	Excellent I can read this very easily, because you have used spaces, understandable words and grammar, and you have punctuation at the end of every sentence.
