    ACROSTIC Rubric Guidelines

    Directions for submitting your Acrostic poetry entries:


    First, score all of the poems submitted from each grade level that you teach. Next, rank
    your poems. Please submit the top 5 entries. Be sure to send a cover sheet with each
    students entry.
    The following attributes must be included in the poem.
    _____

    A. The subject of the acrostic poem is written vertically one letter at a


    time in a column.
    1 point = Perfect
    0 points = Subject not written correctly.

    _____

    B. Each vertical letter begins a word, a phrase, or a sentence in each line of a poem.
    1 point =
    Perfect
    0 points =
    The vertical letter is not at the beginning of the word, phrase, or
    sentence of each line.

    _____

    C. There should be no repetitive words in the poem.


    2 points =
    No words repeat
    1 point =
    1 word repeats
    0 points =
    2 + words repeat

    _____

    D. Creative/linguistically complex words or phrases are used. The


    student shows knowledge & use of specialized words in his/her poem.
    3 points =
    There are at least 80% words that show linguistic complexity.
    2 points =
    There are at least 60% words that show linguistic complexity.
    1 point =
    There are at least 40% words that show linguistic complexity.
    0 points =
    Less than 40% of the words show linguistic complexity or are common words

    _____

    E. Words are spelled correctly. (The exception is the letter X. If a word, phrase, or
    sentence has an X sound in the first syllable of the word then it doesnt need to be
    spelled correctly because of the difficulty of finding words that start with X that relate
    to this topic.)
    1 point = 0 to 1 spelling errors
    0 points = 2 + spelling errors

    _____

    F. Each word, phrase, or sentence describes the topic.


    2 points =
    All of the words describe/support the topic.
    1 points =
    At least 90 % of the words describe/support the topic.
    0 point =
    80 % or less of the words describe/support the topic.

    Steps to take in order to prepare your entries for the poetry contest.
    1. Students may only submit one poem into the poetry contest.
    2. Assess all of the poems that your students submit. Use the Scoring sheet to pick your top
    5 entries for each grade level. For example, if you work with more than one grade then
    you can submit five entries for each grade you teach in the Acrostic poem category. You
    dont need to send in your Scoring Sheet.
    3. Complete an entry sheet for each student in your top 5.
    4. Be sure the student only uses their first name on the poem (if they decide to use their name).
    Darken out the last name OR have the student edit the poem. (For example a 2nd grader
    works really hard on handwriting their poem and after you instructed them not to put their
    name on the paper, they still do. Thats when the last name needs to be darkened with a
    marker.)
    5. If you are mailing the entries: Please paper clip each entry sheet on top of the appropriate
    poem and place in the envelope. Be sure to include the title of the poem on the cover sheet
    to help avoid confusion. Please do not staple the documents.
    If you are sending the entries via email: Be sure to attach the documents as a Word
    document or a PDF file. To avoid confusion between entries, save the documents using
    the title of the poem and cover sheet using the title of the poem OR students first name.
    6. An email will be sent verifying that all of the entries were received.
