Scene Performance Group Grade

This is a group grade rubric for a short performance of a scene from a play.

(Note: criteria points and weights are set at the general rubric template defaults and should be adjusted to reflect your particular grade weight preferences.)

Time

- Exceeded time limit or was too short
- Met the time limit range requirement
Blocking

- Many mis-steps in planning, interaction between characters is strained in many places or is not natural to the context; some lines may be very incongruous to actions (performance shows significant lack of attention to blocking during rehearsals)
- Some mis-steps in planning, or interaction between characters is strained in many places or is not natural to the context; a few lines may be incongruous to actions (performance shows lack of attention to blocking during rehearsals)
- One or two minor mis-steps in planning, or interaction between characters is at times strained or not natural; one or two lines may be incongruous to actions (performance is good, but is not polished)
- Well-planned; interaction with other characters is natural; line delivery matches actions (performance is polished)
