=Rubric for Sensory Detail Paper=


 * Introduction**: How effectively do your opening lines grab the readers's attention, create an image, and encourage the audience to "stay tuned"?


 * I'm asleep. || Yawn! I've heard this before. || Could be more original. || Quite good; this story might be good. || I like this a lot! || You've hooked me! ||
 * 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6 ||


 * Strong Verbs**: To what extent do the verbs enhance the "picture" the writer is "painting" for the reader?


 * This has no action. || To much "is" and "have". || I'm starting to see a picture. || There are __some__ vivid verbs here! || I'm beginning to __see, hear, and feel__. || Loud and clear! ||
 * 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6 ||


 * Details**: How specific, interesting, unusual, and observant are the details?


 * I think a blind man could make better visual observations. || You tell, tell, tell, but you don't "show" anything. || Some interesting details. || Now you're starting to show me! || Wow! An __interesting__ way to look at things. || Awesome observations! I see, hear, touch, and taste/smell! (but I don't overdo it). ||
 * 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6 ||


 * Sentence Starters**: To what extent did you start sentences in different ways.


 * Then. Then...Then... || Some sentences look different than others. || I got a "who" starter, a "what" starter, and a "how". || I mixed it up quite a bit. || Who, what, where, when, and how -- and it sounds natural! || My writing simply flows! ||
