Conventions

 – Write with technical accuracy of syntax and punctuation in phrases,  

clauses and sentences

• 

The author correctly uses fullstops or exclamation marks at the end of each sentence and where appropriate. 

The author relies on fullstops, although the addition of different sentence-ending punctuation will bring more 

variety and voice to the text.  

• 

The author consistently begins all sentences with capital letters, uses a capital “I” in all instances, and uses  

capital letters for all proper nouns (e.g., titles). 

• 

The author consistently uses commas to mark simple and complex clauses throughout the text and also when  

forming lists. 

• 

The author uses quotation marks and attempts to use related punctuation marks correctly.
