Random Epiphanies

Greetings Class (4/28):

Yes, we're getting down to the end, and I hop you're enjoying the final written project -- the choice piece!

As I posted and discussed in class, I have the basic rubric and then you were going to complete the rubric with your groups. I offer the first part of the rubric because 1) I wanted to show you how to create them and 2) because these are basic standards of all good writing and things we've discussed throughout the year.

I post them here so you are able to refer to them as you draft and revise this final project.

Basic Rubric for Choice Piece (C.P.)
1) C.P. must have explicit or interpretable message, idea, theme, or lesson.
2) C.P. uses significant detail and is well supported
3) C.P. uses elements of writer's craft -- i.e. figurative language and / or plot elements
4) C.P. is relatively free of structural / grammatical errors

Remember, the other criteria on which you will be graded is something you and your group will help determine!

Also, for those of you writing short stories, here is the story map I promised: http://www.educationoasis.com/curriculum/GO_pdf/story_organzier.pdf
