This document provides a rubric for scoring narrative writing. It evaluates narratives on a scale from excellent to fail based on how well the narrative tells a story, uses vivid details of places and people, and conveys the significance of events. Higher scores are given for more vivid storytelling, descriptive details that bring settings and characters to life, clear expression of why events are important, and proper language mechanics with few errors. Lower scores mean less vivid storytelling, few descriptive details, unclear significance of events, and major issues with language mechanics that interfere with readability.
