So it might seem really detailed, but I thought it would help if I posted the grading rubric that I'll be filling out as I read each of your entries. The different sections are in bold, with the total for that section right after. The sections are broken down according to what I look and grade for, with their own points listed as well. Hope this helps :) It shows what I focus on when reading as well.
