Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- Have pupils revise their first draft. Ask them to set aside their first draft for a while and return to it to read over slowly and critically, and reread it several times.
- Have learners use these questions as a revision guide: i. Is my topic interesting? ii. Does the beginning catch the reader's attention? iii. Are the ideas easy to understand? iv. Do all the sentences say something about the topic?
- Encourage learners to make as many changes as necessary to improve their work.
