Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

       AF2: 

Organisation

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

• 

It is clear that the author understands the purpose of writing a persuasive letter and demonstrates an ability to  

incorporate persuasive devices. The audience is identified and the author appeals to the audience’s emotions, 

 

values, and logic through three clearly identified reasons that support computers in the classroom. The author’s 

voice is confident and convincing.

• 

A title is not usually required in a persuasive letter and is therefore not a requirement for this piece. The author 

does include a heading, a date, a salutation, and a closing, which are expected features of a letter. Overall, the 

letter’s formatting is accurate and appropriate.

• 

The author uses many persuasive devices, including rhetorical questions that effectively cause the reader to 

reflect, some exaggeration, examples, and facts. The author should begin to include counter-arguments to help 

defend his/her position against obvious rebuttals.
