AF4: 

Organisation 

– Construct paragraphs and use cohesion within and between paragraphs

• 

The author generally uses longer linking phrases to signal the passage of time and to transition into the next 

detail (e.g., “a few months after,” “when Ayesha grew up,” and “her father eventually”). 

• 

The author is beginning to use paragraphs appropriately and changes paragraphs for the opening and closing 

and when a long time has passed. The paragraph explaining the individual’s childhood could be broken into 

additional paragraphs with more detail of those periods of her life.
