Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

AF4: 

Organisation 

– Construct paragraphs and use cohesion within and between paragraphs

• 

The author uses some simple linking phrases (e.g., “In addition,” “A third reason”) to connect paragraphs and  

introduce new reasons which adds to the overall organization of the text and also assists with flow. Linking words 

within the paragraphs are limited.  

• 

The author’s paragraphs include a topic sentence (e.g., the reason) and supporting details, but lack a closing  

sentence. The author changes paragraphs appropriately (e.g., opening, closing, and when presenting a new 

reason).
