Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

Level 1a

Assessment Commentary:

AF1: 

Ideas & Voice

 – Write imaginative, interesting, and thoughtful texts

• 

The author provides three ideas related to the topic. The author is beginning to provide additional detail and  

elaboration (e.g., After that I played with my dolly. I platted her hair). Limited details are given to answer the 

“where” and “when” questions, but the text accurately answers “who.” 

• 

The author is beginning to express his/her individuality through the included pictures. 

       AF2: 

Organisation

 – Produce texts which are appropriate to task, reader, and purpose

•  The piece of writing does not seem to be directed to a specific audience and the author’s voice is similar to what 

one would expect if the author was writing within another text type. 

• 

The author’s title directly states the event (e.g., “Saturday”).
