The content is exceptionally clear, focused, relevant, and well suited to the audience and purpose. Main ideas are clearly written, supported by appropriate resources, and strong details.

The organization enhances the central idea(s) and its development. The order and structure are strong and enables the reader to move through the text effortlessly.

Grammatical errors are so few and so minor that they do not impede readability.

Content exceeds minimum required length.

The content is clear and focused. The reader can easily understand the main ideas. Support is present, although it may be limited or general.

Supporting evidence may occasionally be out of balance with the main idea(s).

Content and selected details are relevant, but perhaps not consistently well chosen for the audience and purpose.

The content demonstrates control of standard content conventions (e.g., punctuation, spelling, capitalization, paragraph breaks, grammar and usage).

Minor errors, while perhaps noticeable, do not impede readability.

Content meets minimum required length.

Main ideas and purpose are somewhat unclear, or development is attempted but minimal. Insufficient or irrelevant details that clutter the text. Extensive repetition without development.
