My book report will be Excellent if:

• I accurately retold important events from the story
• I told how I felt about the book and why (I gave examples from the story)
• I spelled 'no excuse' and book words correctly
• I used my best creative spelling to write words I didn't know
• I used correct punctuation, including capital letters, periods, question marks and exclamation points.

My book report will be Acceptable if:

• I accurately retold important events from the story
• I did not tell how I felt about the book and why (I didn't give specific examples).
• I spelled most 'no excuse' and book words correctly
• I used 'reasonable' creative spelling, but did not follow all of the spelling rules I know
• I used some punctuation marks and capital letters, but not in every sentence

My work will Need Improvement if:

• I did not accurately retell events from the story, or I left out important information
• I did not tell how I felt about the book
• I did not spell 'no excuse' and book words correctly
• I did not use punctuation marks and capital letters
