Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

AF9: 

Presentation

 – Handwriting and presentation

• 

For the majority of the text, the author writes on the lines appropriately and letters are generally of a consistent 

size. The double “f” in the words “eff” and “off” need to be addressed with the author. Word spacing is consistent 

 

throughout the text. 

• 

Other presentational features of the text type were not required for this writing task.

 

What’s Next? Identifying Targets for this Student:

 

• 

AF 7 – The addition of more adjectives and stronger word choices will help this author’s writing improve.  

Additional adjectives will also help to add a sense of voice and individuality to the text. 

• 

AF 3 – Although the author includes an opening in his/her text, it is a short, simple sentence and the  

addition of a simple “hook” to grab the reader’s attention will help the author progress through Level 2.  

Creating a “hook,” like asking a question or using a noisy word/list of adjectives, should be introduced to  

the author through modeled, shared, or guided writing sessions.
