Name: ____________________________________________ Personal Narrative Rubric 4 3 2 1 Overall I wrote a story that had tension, resolution and realistic characters and conveyed an idea or lesson.

I wrote a story of an important moment. It read like a story even though it might be a true account. Writer mostly stays on one topic and has a message that shows understanding of personal narrative and tells us something important about the writer and it is mostly apparent throughout the piece. I wrote the important part of an even bit by bit and took out unimportant parts. Writer sometimes stays on one topic and shows some understanding of personal narrative. We may or may not learn something important about the writer. I told the story bit by bit. Writer strays from topic and does not show much understanding of personal narrative. We do not learn something important about the writer. Organization The writer used paragraphs purposefully, perhaps to show time or setting changes, new parts of the story, or to create suspense for readers. He created a sequence of events that was clear. The writer used paragraphs to separate different parts or time of the story and to show when a new character was speaking. Some parts of the story were longer and more developed than others. The writer used paragraphs to separate the different parts or times of the story or to show when a new character was speaking. The writer used paragraphs and skipped lines to separate what happened first from what happened later (and finally) in her story.
