The poetry workshops will use a fifty-point scale similar to the Fiction Grading Scale. However, the scale will be customized for poetry - come back soon to see how the specific needs of poetry are incorporated into the numbering system.
The 50-pt Writing Scale (Poetry):
50 - Excellent Work. Practically no grammatical, syntax, or spelling mistakes.
45 - Very Good Work. Very few style or syntax errors.
40 - Good Work. Few style or syntax errors.
35 - Good Foundation. There are just enough style and syntax errors that we're a bit distracted from the narrative, but not enough that we'd stop reading.
30 - The Work Is In-Progress. The style and syntax errors make it difficult to focus on the poem.
25 - Rough Draft. The style and syntax of the piece makes the meaning of some of the sentences unclear.
20 - Planning Stages. The style and syntax causes significant confusion in the piece, and we see a few paragraphs which are unclear.
15 - Early Planning Stages. It's rare that I give a grade in this range or below. If I do, it is usually due to issues in syntax, specificity of detail, and rhythm in past assignments which have gone uncorrected. Please read my comments carefully. And please let me know a good time that we can meet to discuss your work.
