Write a first draft of a one-paragraph composition on a familiar topic without stopping to correct errors.
Use nouns and pronouns correctly within and across sentences to keep the writing clear and avoid confusion.
Structure their paragraph so it has a clear beginning, middle and ending.
Add new ideas to their draft beyond those generated during brainstorming, while staying on the topic.
Revise their draft to check that pronouns clearly refer to the right nouns.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- Have learners work independently to write a first draft. Advise learners to: i. Concentrate on getting ideas on paper, not to produce a perfect piece of writing.
ii. Use the ideas generated but feel free to add new ideas that occur to them as they write.
- Be sure their writing has a beginning, middle and an ending.
