Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- In groups, have learners revise their writing paying attention to little details.
- 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. Are all the sentences saying something about the topic?
