Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

AF3: 

Organisation

 – Organise and present whole texts effectively, sequencing and structuring

information, ideas, and events

• 

The author writes a well-developed, detailed opening paragraph that effectively hooks the reader’s attention by 

using a series of questions that not only engage the reader, but cause the reader to reflect. The author’s opinion 

is clearly stated at the end of the second paragraph and he/she uses the phrase “Where we will explore a few 

reasons …” to link the opening to the body of the subsequent text. 

•  The author’s reasons are supported with relevant details in logical order. The author’s voice flows with ease and 

 

precision.  

• 

The author uses a well-developed closing that begins with a creative linking phrase, summarises the main ideas/ 

reasons of the text, and strongly re-states the writer’s opinion. The author also includes a call to action at the end 

of the closing (e.g., “Think about the damage you are doing to them and make the right choice”).
