Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

What’s Next? Identifying Targets for this Student:

• 

AF 6 – The author should focus on punctuation; particularly, the use of full stops to end sentences as well as  

accurate comma placement.  

• 

AF 3 – The author needs to target his/her closing to restate his/her opinion and relate to the purpose of the 

text. The author may also want to work towards including a call to action and/or providing a summary of the 

main reasons presented in the text. 

Comments:

The author demonstrates a well-developed writing voice and an awareness of his/her audience. The author  

attempts to persuade the audience appropriately by giving relevant reasons supported by some evidence. To 

be secure at Level 3, the author will need to include a greater number of persuasive devices (e.g., rhetorical 

questions, exaggeration, and the incorporation of facts). Lastly, the closing paragraph needs to be restructured 

so that it restates the author’s potion, summarizes the main reasons, and/or presents a call to action.
