• two examples of figurative language, identified correctly by term (all four sections of the chart are complete and accurate)
• explanation includes information from given sentence, along with insight and reasoning as to impact of figurative language

• partial understanding of figurative language (all four sections of the chart are filled in, but may include an inaccurate identification of term or example)
• 2nd part of answer is may be partial
• explanation includes information from given sentence, but may not be clear or show thoughtful reasoning as to impact of figurative language

• little or no understanding of figurative language (parts of chart not filled in with either examples, or terms)
• no explanation or one that does not make sense
• may write "I don't know" or give information not related to figurative language, setting, or mood of the story. For Example:
  • Identify a literary element:
    Literary Element: scary
    object or idea compared: moonlight
  • Tell how the figurative language sets the scene for the story.
    swamps are cool
• "Scary" isn't a term of figurative language. "Moonlight" is not connected to "scary" in the sentence. The answer to the second question does not relate to figurative language either, but seems to be the reader's opinion.
