Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

Level 2c

Assessment Commentary:

AF1: 

Ideas & Voice

 – Write imaginative, interesting, and thoughtful texts

• 

The author provides a number of personal reasons to persuade his/her audience, although he/she could still 

provide more elaboration. The third point (e.g., “I want a beautiful puppy for a pet please”) is not a reason, but 

an opinion statement.

• 

The author’s writing is not unique; however, he/she is beginning to use a few adjectives like “beautiful” and 

poses questions to the audience to enhance the individuality of the piece. There is no sense of deep  

commitment to the topic or of the writer’s excitement for the topic.
