Evaluating peer writing

How to best evaluate a piece of writing? Work in groups of three and find five parameters you propose to use when evaluating the Story-in-a-box. The most important parameter gets five points, the next, somewhat less parameter gets four points, and so on.
Here is an example:
1. Great flow and easy to read ______ (MAX 5)
2. Intelligent plot ______ (MAX 4)
3. Logical flow of paragraphs, outline makes sense _____ (MAX3)
4. Play on words, word choice _____ (MAX2)
5. Complete inventory was used _____ (MAX1)
(editable doc on review parameters)

Post your evaluation criteria. Review five Stories-in-a-box from your peers and rank them using your criteria. "Whose story is best and why?" That will be my question to you. Who wrote the best story in class?
Submitted student texts by 2PM 9-2-10. (Deadline is noon on Thursdays, as announced)
