Other Work Samples for:

Robyn has demonstrated sound knowledge and understanding of the requirements of a letter to the editor. In each letter, an argument has been presented but additional supporting evidence from the stimulus text would be of benefit. A clear point of view has been outlined in each opening paragraph but the focus of the letters tends to drift. A sound understanding of the key issues has been demonstrated and an appropriate structure has been used. Rhetorical questions and persuasive language have been used and there is a strong sense of voice but the expression is repetitive and flawed at times. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade C standard at the end of Stage 5.
