AF5: 

Sentence Fluency

 – Vary sentences for clarity, purpose, and effect

• 

The author writes in full sentences and there is some variation in his/her sentence length. The author also  

experiments with using short sentences for effect (e.g., “You should think about that.”). Simply structured  

sentences are often relied upon; however, in a few instances, compound sentences are used. The student 

accurately uses the connective “and” and also uses the connective “so” several times throughout the text. 

• 

Verb tense is accurate throughout the text and the author changes tense appropriately.
