Other Work Samples for:

Bailey has demonstrated a sound understanding of the technical features employed by poets but the evaluation of the poems lacks detail. There is some description of personification without a sustained explanation of its effect. Bailey’s response is well structured with some use of complex vocabulary but contains unnecessary repetition. The reflection statement, though competent, does not fully address the issues related to working collaboratively. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade C standard at the end of Stage 4.
