A 5-criterion rubric for narrative pieces — voice, structure, mechanics, originality, and revision evidence — with 4-level descriptors.
Built from a high-school English department's shared Google Doc, this rubric is the one you wish you had during Sunday-night grading. Five criteria, four levels each, written in plain student-facing language so feedback is unambiguous.
When applied via Univation, every piece of writing receives an evidence-cited score for each criterion, with the exact paragraph (and a one-sentence "why") backing the level you award.
Preview
Voice
Level 4 — A clear, distinctive voice persists across the piece. Diction and syntax feel intentional.
Structure
Level 4 — Opening hooks the reader, the middle escalates tension, the ending satisfies without resolving artificially.
