	1 pts	2 pts	3 pts	4 pts	5 pts
Ideas	1 I need more time to think.	2 It's hard to get started.	3 I need to add some details. My reader wil get the general idea.	4 You might have some questions.	5 This is just what I wanted to say!
Organization	1 This is confusing.	2 I don't know where I'm headed.	3 What should I tell first? What comes next?	4 My paper is pretty easy to follow. Maybe I need to move some things around.	5 I know where I'm going! My opening will hook you! The ending really works!
Voice	1 I wish I didn't have to do this!	2 I'm not speaking to the reader -- yet.	3 I'm hiding my feelings and ideas a little.	4 This topic is OK. I'm trying to speak to the reader.	5 It's me! This is what I think. I love this topic.
Word Choice	1 These words just don't make sense.	2 These words are not my favorites. They don't paint a picture in your mind.	3 There is probably a better way to say it, but this is my first try.	4 I need more imagination here.	5 I think this is the best way to say it! My words paint a picture.
Sentence Fluency	1 I can't tell where a new sentence begins. Every word is strung together in one endless sentence.	2 Help! Some of these sentences don't make sense.	3 A lot of my sentences begin the same way. I wish my paper sounded a little smoother in places.	4 There are lots of choppy little sentences. It's pretty easy to read out loud if you take your time.	5 My paper is easy to read out loud. I like the sound of this paper -- it has rhythm.
Conventions	1 Errors are extremely distracting. This piece is not edited.	2 There are a lot of errors. I couldn't publish this yet. Paragraphing is random or not present.	3 Punctuation is basically correct. Capitals are correct at the beginning of sentences and names, but not in trickier places.	4 There are minor problems. I hastily edited.	5 Clean copy. Only light editing is needed -- at the most.
Presentation	1 It's too confusing to read -- I'm getting a headache.	2 My spacing is uneven. Things are just too crowded on the page to make sense.	3 My margins and white space are inconsistent.	4 This is a draft copy.	5 This is a finished copy -- I'm proud of it!
