Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

Level 3a

Assessment Commentary:

AF1: 

Ideas & Voice

 – Write imaginative, interesting, and thoughtful texts

•  The author provides and sufficiently elaborates upon at least three ideas that are all related to the individual. 

 

The opening, details, and closing of the text answer the “who, “where,” “what,” “when,” “how,” and “why”  

questions. 

• 

The author’s individuality and unique writer’s voice are apparent in the opening of the text as he/she attempts to 

create suspense; however, this trait is not maintained throughout the entire text. 

       AF2: 

Organisation

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

• 

The author uses an “expert” tone throughout the text and focuses on informing the reader about the  

individual’s life. 

• 

The author’s title states the name of the individual in the biography and attempts to catch the reader’s attention 

with the phrase “Life Saver.”
