Criteria for Diary Entries	Possible Points	Your Points (entry 1)	Your Points (entry 2)
Ideas: You have used information from the text (audio recording) to develop the perspective of the character. The retelling of events is creative, and demonstrates an understanding of the type of person the character is. The retelling demonstrates that the writer has thought about the character, the events, and the feelings (or lack thereof) that the character experiences, as well as any conclusions the character may have drawn from the experience.	5
Presentation and Organization: The entry is at least 150-200 words in length. The entries are written neatly, on clean paper which is free of smudges, tears, and creases. All spiral edges have been removed. Typing is NOT required.	5
Voice: The diary entry is written from the perspective of the character, and reflects the personality of the character with regards to language use (so your entry should not be written as you would say it, but as the character would say it.)	5
Grammar: All grammar rules discussed in class are followed.	5
