Personal
Experience Essay Scoring Rubric
Exceptional,
Exemplary, Advanced (A)
These
personal experience essays weave together consistently compelling, engaging
narration; vivid, suggestive description; and insightful, sophisticated
reflection. The organization is coherent and, perhaps, inventive. Control and
expressive use of diction (word choice) and varied syntax (sentence structure)
create an engaging writing style with very few or no errors in English language
convention errors. The process work shows
thoughtful, reflective engagement in the development and revision of the essay.
Appropriate,
Successful, Proficient (B)
These
personal experience essays include clear narration, description, and
reflection. Some of these elements may be particularly strong in parts of the
essay, but command of these elements is inconsistent-though present. The
organization is coherent. The word choices are usually accurate and are
sometimes sharp; there is some variation in sentence structure. These elements
together create an appropriate writing style with few distracting English
language convention errors. (In essays that attempt more subtle sentence
structures and formal word choices there may be more errors.) The process work shows substantial
engagement in the development and revision of the essay.
Working
towards proficiency, needs improvement (C)
In
these personal experience essays one or more of the major aspects of the
genre—narration, description, and reflection—may be underdeveloped,
inconsistently developed, or omitted entirely. These essay may also have
distracting English language convention errors and/or be careless or repetitive
with word choices and sentence structures. The
process work shows some engagement in the development and revision of the
essay.
Unacceptable,
failing, little to no understanding of personal essay writing (F)
Unacceptable
development of aspects of personal essay writing and/or unacceptable errors and
carelessness with writing style and/or conventions.
