Other Work Samples for:

Ashley has demonstrated a sound knowledge and understanding of the use of personification in poetry. Some reference has been made to other poetic techniques, such as rhythm and repetition, but detail is lacking. There is a clear and appropriate structure to the response but inconsistent use of appropriate language for the intended audience. A lack of sentence complexity and the use of ‘non-sentences’ detract from the work. Ashley has demonstrated a sound understanding of the reflection process, although this part of the response is somewhat superficial. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade C standard at the end of Stage 4.
