Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

AF3: 

Organisation

 – Organise and present whole texts effectively, sequencing and structuring

information, ideas, and events

• 

In the opening, the author attempts to catch the reader’s attention by using a hooking strategy (e.g., asking a  

question) and then clearly states his/her opinion. The author appears to have attempted to give the reader a 

“snapshot” of the reasons to be presented (e.g., “are fun to learn with”); however, including the other two reasons 

would better connect the opening to the rest of the text. 

• 

The author provides relevant, detailed, and logical reasons that support the main ideas. 

• 

The author uses a closing that effectively ties the text together by restating the author’s opinion and presenting a  

call to action. However, the author does not summarise the main ideas in the closing.
