The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

• sub strand name - p.24: the heading is printed 'SUB-STRAND 1: PRODUCTION AND' and stops there; the contents page and printed pp 56 and 89 read 'PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF WRITING'

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- Write a paragraph beginning with topic (main) sentence and supporting sentences.
- Organise sentences in a logical sequence to create a coherent paragraph that is appropriate for the text type (narrative, descriptive, instruction (directions), persuasive, explanation (notice), etc.).
- Use logical connectors to link sentences in a paragraph:
  - ordering ideas: firstly, secondly, finally, etc.
  - addition: moreover, furthermore, in addition, etc.
  - similarity: similarly, likewise, in the same way, etc.
  - contrast: however, nevertheless, although, though, on the other hand, etc.
  - cause/effect: because, therefore, as a result, consequently, etc.
  - sequence in time: next, soon, after, then, later, suddenly, afterwards, etc.
NB. Use logical connectors, pronouns and the repetition of words, synonyms and antonyms to create a cohesive text (i.e. a text in which sentences and paragraphs are linked together to show meaning and beauty).
