National Donor Day Article Final Rubric/Criteria


·      Overall Structure of the text
o   Informal
o   Contractions are used
o   The length varies from shorter to longer articles
o   Grammatically correct
o   No indentions in new paragraphs
o   Many short paragraphs to keep the reader’s attention

·      Language Use
o   Written as an article by one author
o   Minimum number of sentences per paragraph
o   Ideas are clear, no run-on’s

·      Style/Tone
o   Each article has a story involved
o   There are quotes stated directly from the people involved in the article.
o   The main point of the story is at the very top

·      Content
o   Many quotes are used, interviews were involved a lot
o   There is an introduction of each person that is mentioned in the articles
o   Many organ donating facts are stated
o   Statistics are used

·      Other visual aspects
o   Pictures were used for the article
o   There is always a title for the article

Some aspects that my peers found important when reviewing my work and articles were:
o   Tell exact ways for college students to get involved
o   Really focusing on how important it is and what a difference each and every person can make
o   How to sign up
o   Interview actual donors or those who are in need of donors
o   Maybe some brief history?

One other thing is that students have the perfect opportunity to donate blood when there are blood donation days multiple times throughout the semester on campus, usually in the residence halls!

My articles are found from major world news sources.

  1. Really good rubric!! You have a good handle on this. Now consider some of your categories a little bit deeper... You have a category for style/tone, but what does that mean exactly? What type of style, for example, is a newspaper written in? What are some word/sentence examples that may show this. You can probably take "language use" a bit deeper, as well, considering more specifically just how language is used, sentence and paragraphs are structured, etc.
