Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

Assessment Commentary:

AF1: 

Ideas & Voice

 – Write imaginative, interesting, and thoughtful texts

•  The author’s ideas are specific to the topic and he/she elaborates with relevant and imaginative details. The 

details to answer the “who,” “what,” “where,” “when,” “why,” and “how” questions are embedded in the text. 

• 

The author’s voice and personality are evident throughout the text. The author has a clearly established 

personal style which is evident through several interesting word choices, a variety of sentences, and the way 

in which the ideas contained in the text flow smoothly together to effectively hold the reader’s interest. His/her 

style is unique compared to how others write and his/her individuality shines through.
