Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

AF6: 

Conventions

 – Write with technical accuracy of syntax and punctuation in phrases,  

clauses and sentences

• 

The author uses capital letters and punctuation consistently and accurately, including full stops, commas,  

exclamation marks, question marks, and apostrophes for contractions. 

• 

Although punctuation is not an expected outcome in persuasive writing, the student effectively integrates and 

uses quotation marks and related punctuation. 

•  The author uses commas confidently in lists and when marking simple and complex clauses (e.g., “Now, I know 

that it is not strange for a child to have natural bad dreams from eating too many smores around the campfire, but 

bloody dreams, come on people, get real, and open your eyes for once”).
