This document outlines a rubric for scoring Chinese writing with four domains: task completion, organization, language use, and elaboration. Each domain is scored on a scale from emerging to advanced. For task completion, an emerging response is off-topic while an advanced response fully addresses the prompt and is on-topic. Organization progresses from an emerging response lacking structure to an advanced response with ideas presented clearly using a variety of transitional words. Language use develops from an emerging response lacking precise vocabulary to an advanced response using skillful and precise vocabulary. Elaboration scales up from sparse details in an emerging response to specific developed details in an advanced response.
