Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

Level 4b

Assessment Commentary:

AF1: 

Ideas & Voice

 – Write imaginative, interesting, and thoughtful texts

•  The author provides and sufficiently elaborates upon at least three ideas related to the event. The opening 

and details of the text answer the “who,” “where,” “what,” “when,” “how,” and “why” questions. 

• 

The author’s voice is evident through the use of interesting word choices, conventions (e.g., some dialogue), 

and an abundance of details. His/her style is unique compared to how others write and his/her individuality 

shines through. 

       AF2: 

Organisation

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

•  The author’s tone is lively and amusing throughout the text and is reflective of a conversation, which is 

 

appropriate for a personal recount. He/she interjects humour at particular points for effect. The author is aware  

of the audience and he/she aims to entertain with details and personal feelings. 

• 

The title directly states the event and leaves little for the reader to wonder about. Alluding to the main idea or 

lesson learned in a creative way, instead of directly stating the event, will help to improve this text.
