Grammar & Sentence Fluency
5 pts
Excellent
Grammar and usage are always correct and enhance the writing clarity and style. Writing has an easy flow, with strong varied sentence structures. There are varied and purposeful sentence beginnings.
Good
Grammar and usage is good, but does not always add to the style of the writing. Not serious enough to distort the meaning, but may not be correct or accurately applied all the time. Sentences get the job done, constructed correctly, and sound. Sentence structures attempt to vary, as do sentence beginnings.
Fair
Errors in grammar and usage are very noticeable, frequent, and affect meaning. Sentence structures are simplistic and monotonous. Need complexity, but they do make sense.
Sentences do not make sense, ramble, begin the same way, and endlessly connect to others.
Indenting
2 pts
Excellent

Good
One paragraph was indented correctly and the others were not.
Fair
None of the paragraphs were indented correctly.
