Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

AF8: 

Conventions

 – Use correct spelling

• 

Generally, the author’s spelling is accurate throughout the text; however, there are some inaccuracies present.  

Incorrect words should be added to the author’s individual word wall. 

• 

He/she may have referred to classroom resources, such as a word wall. 

AF9: 

Presentation

 – Handwriting and presentation

• 

Other presentational features of the text type were not required for this writing task.

 

What’s Next? Identifying Targets for this Student:

 

• 

AF 6 – To progress to Level 4, the author should be encouraged to add quotation marks to his/her text.  

This may include dialogue or a famous quote from the biographical figure. 

• 

AF 4 – Although the author has started to organise his/her ideas into paragraphs, he/she has yet to  

demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of when to change paragraphs. The paragraph about the  

individual’s childhood could be broken into several paragraphs as large amounts of time pass in several  

instances. Changing paragraphs at those times and adding more detail will help the author continue to  

improve.
