Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

AF3: 

Organisation

 – Organise and present whole texts effectively, sequencing and structuring

information, ideas, and events

• 

The author writes a well-developed opening and effectively uses a question as a hook to grab the reader’s  

attention. The hook is followed by an opinion statement that includes strong, convincing words, and a “snapshot” 

of the three reasons to be presented in the body of the text. The writer also uses a phrase to link the opening to 

the body. 

• 

The arguments that follow the opening are relevant to the topic, supported with details, and are in logical order.  

• 

The author uses a well-developed closing that begins with a linking phrase, contains a summary of the main  

ideas, and also restates the writer’s opinion. The author also includes a call to action at the end of the closing.
