AF1: 

Ideas & Voice

 – Write imaginative, interesting, and thoughtful texts

• 

The author includes three reasons that go beyond personal reasons and are of a broader, more socially 

relevant perspective. All the ideas are relevant and linked to the topic (e.g., “EEPS should have P.E. to: stay 

healthy, so students don’t get overweight, and to have fun”). The author also elaborates on each reason.  

• 

The overall tone of the text shows that the author cares about the topic and the potential outcome. There is a 

sense of enthusiasm beginning to form in the author’s writing, particularly in the author’s use of rhetorical  

questions; however, there are only hints of the author’s unique voice throughout the text.
