Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- Introduce instructions by having learners respond to typical classroom instructions.
- Create situations for learners to practise giving and responding to instruction.
- Let learners role-play parents, teachers, prefects, learners giving and responding to instructions, etc.
e. g. Instruction: 1. Draw a circle in a square. 2. Write the letter 'A' in the circle.
Response:

Figure from the b2 english language curriculum, printed page 47

 The exemplar ends "Response:" and the response itself is drawn, not written: the letter A inside an oval inside a rectangle. The figure shows it; the text layer carries nothing.
