Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

AF3: 

Organisation

 – Organise and present whole texts effectively, sequencing and structuring

information, ideas, and events

• 

The author includes a developed opening that clearly expresses his/her opinion with strong convincing  

words and attempts to spark the reader’s interest by asking a question. 

• 

The reasons that the author provides are relevant to the topic and in a logical order. However, they are  

not supported.  

• 

A closing is included that restates the author’s opinion in a different way than what was presented in the  

opening statement. 

AF4: 

Organisation 

– Construct paragraphs and use cohesion within and between paragraphs

•  The author uses a generic linking word (e.g., “first”) and a longer linking phrase (e.g., “another reason”) to 

 

introduce new reasons and to add organization to the text. 

• 

The author attempts to group his/her content by argument. New arguments are indicated and separated  

from the opening and closing.
