Diary Writing Assessment Rubric
Write your diary entry
Include a lead-up that sets the scene, the main event, and an aftermath showing your reaction or reflection. Use first person and make it sound like a personal diary entry.
Assess your writing
Reread your diary entry. For each criterion, choose the description that best matches what you wrote.
- I used mostly general words, such as “went” or “happy”.
- I used some specific words to show actions or feelings.
- I chose vivid, precise words and phrases that help the reader picture events and understand my feelings.
- Most sentences have the same pattern and length.
- I used a mixture of sentence lengths or types in some places.
- I varied sentence structures deliberately, using short sentences for impact and longer ones to build detail or flow.
- I gave few details about when, where, how or why events happened.
- I added some details, such as where the event happened.
- I regularly used details such as “Just before lunch” or “with shaking hands” to make events clearer and more interesting.
- I described part of the event, but the lead-up or aftermath is missing or unclear.
- I included a lead-up, the event and an aftermath, though one part could be clearer.
- My entry clearly moves from the lead-up to the main event and then to my reaction or reflection.
- I did not reread my writing or make changes.
- I reread it and made a change, but some parts may still be unclear or off topic.
- I reread it, removed or improved anything unclear or off topic, and checked that the reader can follow the event.
