Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

AF3: 

Organisation

 – Organise and present whole texts effectively, sequencing and structuring

information, ideas, and events

• 

The piece has a short opening that states where the author went (e.g., “In the beginning, I go to the pool”);  

however, the phrase “In the beginning” does not provide the reader with information regarding the time of the 

event. A phrase like “Yesterday morning” would be more appropriate for recount writing. 

• 

As the details do not describe the occurrences of the small moment, the text is not ordered sequentially. Due  

to the lack of elaboration, the text seems choppy. 

• 

There is no evidence of a closing in the text, such as a personal feeling statement (e.g., “I loved being at  

the pool”).
