Self Rubrics

When writing reviews I attempt to go over a rubric I made for my writing, here it is… I would love to hear some insight into what you thought about it?

Writing Criteria	Points
Flow/Spark	Are enough words used to be clearly understood but not too many as to make it boring. Do you bring along the reader into your world… or just start the review in mid sentence of a thought…
Shares a definite POV Transparent in Political Allegiances	One can easily tell the POV of the author. The author shares where they are coming from.
Digestible by everyone, anyone, not just lit or history majors	One does not need a degree in Political Science or History to understand the book.
Usefulness	Was the review Useful? Research needed to see what makes a useful review.
Introduction	Summary Sentence. Author shares the motivation that was there to begin to read book. Author outlines the evidence collected in telling the tale.
Word Choice	How well did you communicate Do you have a mixture of 8th Grade and Collegiate Words Did you define all uncommon words.
Sparking Interest in Buying Book: Why they need the book.	Did you answer why would anyone be interested in this subject? Are their links to outside resources? Quotes outside authors and their material.
Desire to share with others	The Reviews rewarding enough to share with a friend without a fear of embarrassment. And not something the execs at Publix would frown on.
KISS	Keep it simple short and sweet. Do not meander through the daisies
Title	Does Title both engage and clue in the perspective reader
Assumptions Made	Be Specific: Were assumptions made about collected knowledge, should not be Publix but Publix Grocery Stores. No one in the PDX knows what Publix is….
Integrity	Are the examples real or are you attempting to look smarter than you are?
