Diction is generally concise, accurate, and appropriate to audience and purpose. Content may be ineffectively organized, with weak or missing transitions. Diction is limited in range, occasionally marred by repetition, redundancy, imprecision. Sentences may be choppy, monotonous. Thesis may be unclear or missing.
Organization is neither clear nor effective.
Ideas are left undeveloped. Generalizations are not supported. Grammatical or sentence structure errors may distort the intended meaning. Mechanical errors may be prevalent. Diction is limited in range and may be inappropriate.
