Other Work Samples for:
Dale has demonstrated a sound understanding of the content and features of a literary recount. A title has been used and events have been included but the text lacks an orientation, time sequence and resolution. Some descriptive words have been used but the sentence beginnings are repetitive and there is inconsistent use of punctuation. An adequate range of spelling strategies has been used and there is evidence of self-correction. The handwriting is consistent in size and slope. To improve Dale needs to include all aspects of the text type, structure sentences carefully and incorporate connectives to join sentences and ideas. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade C standard midway through Stage 1.

The following strands are covered in this activity:
- Talking and Listening
Students communicate with a wide range of people on familiar and introduced topics to achieve a variety of purposes.They interact effectively, adopting new speaking skills, in order to give confident oral presentations. They listen to instructions and share ideas with peers to complete tasks.

They investigate the different types and organisational patterns of common spoken texts and recognise features within them. - Writing

They write using basic grammatical features and conventions of punctuation, showing awareness of different purposes, audiences and subject matter. Students spell using knowledge of sight words, letter-sound correspondence and other strategies. They write using letters of consistent size and slope in NSW Foundation Style and use computer technology to produce texts, recognising simple conventions, language and functions.
