Organisation

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

• 

It is clear that the author understands the purpose for writing and includes persuasive elements and devices that 

are intended to convince the reader. The audience is also identified, and the three distinct reasons are attempts 

to appeal to the audience’s emotions and values.  The author’s voice is convincing and confident. 

• 

Persuasive letters don’t typically require a title and therefore this is not an expectation for this piece. The author 

does include a heading, a date, a salutation, and a closing, which are expected features of a letter. The letter’s 

formatting is accurate and appropriate.

• 

The author understands that supported persuasive arguments are required; however, he/she only uses a few  

persuasive devices to help convince the reader. The student uses rhetorical questions that cause the reader to  

reflect. Additional persuasive devices, like the inclusion of facts and statistics, would improve the student’s piece.
