Main idea is well-marked by quality details but could benefit from additional information
Main idea is clear, supported, and enriched by relevant anecdotes and details

Hard to follow; needs much re-ordering
Some out of place information; attempt at structure
Order works well with topic and purpose; strong leads, thoughtful transitions
Thoughtful structure; well-crafted transitions; unforgettable opening
Word Choice
Flat language or thesaurus overload; author searches for words to convey meaning
Impaired meaning but now and then a “juicy” phrase or some “salsa” (Missing at least one strong very, quality adjective or “ly” word per paragraph)
Precise, vivid, natural language; striking, fresh phrases (Most paragraphs have more than one strong verb)
Powerful, stunning verbs; you want to read it more than once to savor the words (Many strong verbs and quality adjectives in piece)
Sentence Fluency

Mechanical, but still readable; repetitive beginnings (A few different sentence openers)
Easy going flow, highly readable, purposeful sentence beginnings (Different sentence openers and some transitions)
Skims, sings, dances along like a lively script; easy to read with inflection (Many different sentence openers and excellent transitions)
Voice
Author is incapable of personalizing at this stage due to struggling with idea
Author’s voice is hard to recognize, even if reader is trying desperately to “hear” it
Author attempts to address topic, purpose, and audience in sincere and engaging way; piece still skips a beat here and there

Conventions
Noticeable, frequent, distracting errors; line-by-line editing
Noticeable, distracting errors that may affect meaning
