Conventions

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

clauses and sentences

• 

The author correctly uses fullstops or question marks at the end of each sentence and where appropriate.  

Exclamation marks are not evident and could be inserted to increase the variety of punctuation used.  

• 

The author consistently begins all sentences with capital letters and uses capitals appropriately for all proper 

nouns, including titles.  

• 

The author uses commas to mark simple and complex clauses. The author could include a list with commas to 

add more detail and adjectives to the text (e.g., when describing Ayesha in the closing paragraph: “Ayesha is a 

very brave, determined, and intelligent person”).

• 

The author does not include quotation marks in this text.
