I need a definition, or at least a description, explanation, or resource.

An elementary school teacher requested from me an explanation of  "author's
craft." She is supposed to score student's papers from that perspective.
"Author's craft" seems like an endless topic. I was hoping someone might
have something definitive and succinct. So, does anyone have an explanation
for "author's craft?"
