Constructing a Literacy Narrative
- A three (3) essay reads with very few errors in usage, grammar, punctuation, or spelling, although the syntax and diction may be creative, the details are always clear.
- A two (2) essay may contain an occasional problem in syntax or diction, but the reader isn’t seriously distracted.
- A one (1) essay has enough mechanical problems to distract the reader, but understanding can be puzzled out.
- A zero (0) indicates severe problems with syntax, meaning, mechanics, word choice, etc.
