There are few grammatical or convention errors. 2 There is some development of a story, but it falls flat in achieving a purpose. About half of the vocabulary words are used and some are used incorrectly. Conventions are missing or improperly used. The fluency and meaning of the author is confusing, perhaps disjointed. 1 This paper is a minimal effort paper. There is very little evidence of work ethic or time spent in developing a story.
