Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Take learners through the writing process: Pre-writing stage
- Consider composition writing as a process. That is, it should be done in stages.
- Take learners through stages such as preparation, writing, editing and publishing.
- Assist learners to prepare for writing by discussing the topic to write on,
e.g. My school.
- In groups, let learners discuss their ideas.
- Use learner strategies such as brainstorming to help learners generate ideas appropriate to the topic. The document sets the first line above at the indicator's own left margin rather than indented with the exemplars, so it reads as part of the indicator on the page; it is an instruction to the teacher and is transcribed as the first exemplar.
