This rubric outlines the standards for grading a riddle poem assignment on 5 levels, with level 5 exceeding standards by including at least 3 stanzas and 5 poetic elements identified and explained clearly, and level 1 showing little effort with an unexplained late submission. Requirements decrease with each lower level, such as including fewer stanzas and poetic elements identified. Timely submission and neat presentation are also considered.
