Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

Level 4c

Assessment Commentary:

AF1: 

Ideas & Voice

 – Write imaginative, interesting, and thoughtful texts

• 

The author effectively answers the “who,” “what,” “where,” “when,” and “why” questions using relevant details  

specific to the singing event. 

• 

The author focuses on providing the reader with facts and details of the singing event. Their individuality and  

writer’s voice does not shine through.  

       AF2: 

Organisation

 – Produce texts which are appropriate to task, reader, and purpose

•  The author successfully writes to a specific audience with the appropriate tone of a news article. 

• 

Although the title is typical of what is generally seen in newspapers, the author could attempt to catch the reader’s 

attention with a more creative title that could incorporate figurative language (e.g., “Singing Students Sounded 

Like Saints”).
