Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

AF3: 

Organisation

 – Organise and present whole texts effectively, sequencing and structuring

information, ideas, and events

• 

Although the rest of the opening is well-developed as it clearly states the author’s opinion and gives a “snapshot” 

of the three reasons why P.E. should be a daily subject, the author does not use a hook to grab the reader’s 

attention.  

• 

The author provides three supported reasons in logical order that are relevant to the topic.  In order to make his/

her argument more effective, the author may consider revising the third argument, which is less developed and 

has weaker supporting evidence. Ideally, the author should place the stronger arguments at the beginning and/or 

end of the piece. 

•  The author uses a well-developed closing that begins with a linking phrase, summarizes the main ideas, and 

restates the author’s opinion through the use of an action statement.
