Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

Level 2a

Assessment Commentary:

AF1: 

Ideas & Voice

 – Write imaginative, interesting, and thoughtful texts

• 

The author provides more than three ideas related to his/her life. The author is beginning to provide some  

elaboration for a few of his/her details, particularly in the last half of the middle section (e.g., “Next I started 

Year 1 at East End Primary and this school is nice. I learned how to read and I made great, nice friends”). The 

opening and details of the text  

answer the “who,” “where,” “what,” and “when” questions that are applicable to this form of recount writing. 

• 

Through the use of interesting conventions (e.g., punctuation marks), the writing is beginning to sound unique 

in the opening and closing ; however, more interesting word choices and conventions are needed in the body 

to make the piece unique and showcase the author’s individuality.
