The document outlines a rubric for grading riddle poems, with 5 levels ranging from exceeding standards to little evidence of effort. To score high marks, a poem must be a challenging multi-stanza riddle that uses personification, simile, metaphor, and imagery, with an optional rhyme and rhythm. It must identify and explain all poetic elements, be typed and presented neatly, and submitted on time. Scoring lower requires fewer stanzas, poetic elements, or detail in explanations, and can include late or disorganized submissions.
