Plot og Design	Plakaten indeholder mindst 4-6 billeder, der nøjagtigt genfortæller historien. Dialog og beskrivelser matcher billederne og øger forståelsen. Det er tydeligt, at der blev brugt tid og omhu på at skabe en visuelt tiltalende plakat.	Plakaten indeholder mindre end 4 billeder, og beskrivelser og dialog stemmer ikke altid overens med billederne.

Beskrivelser og dialog mangler eller stemmer ikke overens med billederne.
Retskrivning og Grammatik	Stavemåde og grammatik er for det meste nøjagtige. Fejl står ikke i vejen for forståelsen.	Stave og grammatik har fejl, som hindrer forståelsen.	Tekst er meget svær at forstå.
