Other Work Samples for:
Frances has demonstrated sound knowledge and understanding of the structure and features of a narrative. The text reads like a recount of an urban legend. There is a simple but confusing orientation followed by a sequence of events and a complication but the narrative lacks a strong resolution. Some interesting and varied language has been used but the text could be enhanced by the inclusion of more figurative language. Sentence structure is adequate but there is some confusion with tense, and inconsistencies occur in the use of punctuation. A plan has not been included and there is no evidence of editing. To improve, Frances could work on paragraphing and sequencing events, and use a multi-strategy approach to spelling.
