Procedure - Eden : Commentary
Eden has demonstrated a sound understanding of the procedure text type. Action verbs have been appropriately used and the steps are in chronological order. Illustrations and clear, simple sentences have been used to communicate the steps. There is good directionality in the writing. Full stops have been appropriately used but capital letters have not been used to being sentences. A range of strategies, including phonemic awareness and the use of sight words, has been used to spell words. To progress further, Eden could use a wider variety of action words, work on letter formation and include more descriptive language. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at the expected standard at the end of Kindergarten.
Foundation Statement strands
The following strands are covered in this activity:
- Writing
Students write with an increasing awareness of the nature, purpose and conventions of written language. They produce
simple texts that demonstrate an awareness of the basic grammar and punctuation needed. Students know and use letters
and sounds of the alphabet to attempt to spell known words and use most lower and upper case letters appropriately to
construct sentences. Students explore the use of computer technology to construct texts.
