for Ideas and Content
5
Points:
Focused, clear, and
specific
My writing is full of the kinds of details that keep
the reader's attention and show what is really important
about my topic.
- I know a lot about this
topic, and when someone else reads it, they'll find out
some new or little known information.
- I made sure to show
what was happening rather than tell.
- I filled my paper with
interesting tidbits that make reading it fun and
lively.
- I made sure my topic
was small enough to handle and I stayed on topic the
whole time.
3
Points:
Some really good
parts, some not there yet
The reader usually knows what I mean. Some parts will
be better when I tell just a little more about what is
important.
- Some of the things I
said are new, but other things everyone knows
already.
- Some details I have
used are pretty general, like: "The car went far." or
"Here are our graphs."
- I think my topic might
be too big and I got bogged down trying to tell a little
about a lot instead of a lot about a little.
- Sometimes I was very
clear about what I meant, but at other times, it was
still fuzzy.

Points:
Just beginning to
figure out what I want to say
When someone else reads my paper, it will be hard for
them to understand what I mean or what it is all about.
- I haven't shared much
information. I guess I dont' know enough yet about this
topic.
- My details are so vague
it is hard to picture anything.
- I'm still thinking
aloud on paper. I'm looking for a good idea.
- Maybe I'll write about
this, but then, maybe I'll write about that
...
