Other Work Samples for:
Kim has demonstrated thorough knowledge and understanding of the structure and features of a narrative. The text has been effectively organised in paragraphs but there is some inconsistency in sequencing and sentence structure. A variety of conjunctions and connectives have been used, and the language is descriptive. Although there is no evidence of planning or drafting, simple punctuation has been accurately used and there is some experimentation with possessive apostrophes and direct speech. A range of strategies has been used to spell familiar and unfamiliar words but there is little evidence of editing. To improve, Kim could include figurative language and develop more complexity in the narrative by expanding ideas. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade B standard midway through Stage 2.
