Portfolio (2nd marking period)
4 = Exemplary 3= Accomplished 2= Developing 1=Beginning
Exemplary: Thoroughly developed characters, plot, structure, conflict, theme, and setting. Uses vivid description, effective diction and word choice, tone or voice, POV, imagery, and compelling dialogue throughout portfolio. Uses a variety of effective literary devices. Writing can be considered “art,” effectively communicating issues central to the human condition. Has few errors in spelling punctuation, syntax, and usage. Work includes evidence of several revised drafts. Work included in portfolio reflects a wide range of styles and genres. There is more than fifteen full typed pages of new work. Uses lab and class time to full extent. Participates consistently and insightfully in class discussions.
Accomplished: Well developed characters, plot, conflict, theme, and setting. Uses good description, diction, dialogue, voice, POV, imagery, etc. but work may not be as insightful or artfully constructed. Uses some literary devices, but with uneven success. Has some errors in spelling, punctuation, and usage but nothing that gets in the way of the reader’s ability to discern meaning. Work includes evidence of some revision (more than a second draft). Work included in portfolio reflects a range of styles and genres. There is between 8 and 14 pages of typed pages of new work. Uses lab and class time to some extent. Participates sometimes in class (occasionally contributes positively to discussions) but not as insightful as exemplary students.
Developing: Fairly well developed characters, plot and setting, but pieces in portfolio may have gaps. Uses some description, imagery, dialogue, voice, but with uneven success. Work suggests craft or insight into the human condition, but falls short of this goal. May use an occasional literary device, but work is abstract, too personal, clichéd, but does not lack meaning. Has errors in spelling punctuation and usage that distracts the reader. Work may be accomplished, but portfolio was late. Work includes some evidence of revision, but revision is largely in grammar and syntax, rather than restructuring. Work included in portfolio focuses on one type of style or genre. There is between 5 and 7 pages of new work (or work has been borrowed from other CW courses). Uses lab and class time sometimes, but often is off topic or surfing the internet for unrelated materials. Participates occasionally in class, but often remains silent or comments are not as insightful as accomplished or exemplary students; student may disrupt other students occasionally.
Beginning: Development of character, plot and setting is on a very basic level, although these elements are present. Uses limited description, imagery, dialogue. Work is hastily done or lacks artistic style. Does not use literary devices, or work is largely abstract, or lacks meaning. Has careless errors in spelling, punctuation, and usage. Work includes little or no evidence of revision. Work may be developing, but portfolio was turned in late. Work included in portfolio is largely incomplete or undeveloped. There is fewer than 5 pages of new work (or work has been borrowed solely from other CW courses). Does not use lab or class time effectively, often off task. Hardly participates in class discussions, rarely has anything to contribute, sleeps or disrupts other students consistently.
