Description

(Accuracy)

(7)

Accurately describes the plot with no exaggerations. Catches the reader’s attention with enough information about the plot that the reader wants to know the rest of the story.

Accurately describes the plot with no exaggerations. Describes the plot, but a little more information might make the reader want to know the rest of the story.

Decries the plot with no more than 2 slight exaggerations. The reader might feel cheated by the book after reading it and the summary.

Are you sure you read the book? The accuracy of the summary is very questionable. Exaggerations and descriptions totally mislead the reader.

Description

(Completeness)

(7)

Completely describes the plot from beginning to end while leaving out enough information to wet the reader’s desire to read the book.

Describes the plot with just enough information to make the reader read the book if no other book catches his eye. A little more information would be appreciated.

The description leaves too many holes. The reader might read this book if she/he were stuck in a doctor’s office with nothing else to do. Give the summary more body, please.

I s this blank paper your plot summary? Too many holes in the description leaves the reader with no desire to read.

Creativity

(3)

A unique presentation is used to immediately grab my attention. I’m enthralled & drawn for a closer look.

A nice presentation is used to entice my attention! I stand for a long gaze.

I glance at this presentation, then move on. More use of color, texture, or “gotcha” antics would be welcome.

I’m not sure what I’m looking at. Either you’ve tried to be so creative that you lost the viewer or little effort was used to prepare this.

Neatness

(3)

This is picture perfect. You take neatness to the extreme with no messy erasures, worn papers, or tattered materials to distract from the view. EXCELLENT!

This is an attractive picture with few messy erasures, worn papers or tattered materials to distract from the view. I enjoy looking at this.

A picture exists, but messy erasures, worn papers, and/or tattered materials distract from the view. I am able to look at this.

I have no interest in looking at this. It is soooo messy!
