Each section has an opening statement. 2 Some variation in sentence openings e.g. not always starting with noun or pronoun or other word. Compound sentences are used but connectives are simple e.g. and, but, so. 2 Sentences are demarcated accurately throughout the text. Commas used in lists and to mark clause divisions. There may be the occasional capitalisation error. 2 Correct spelling of common words with more than one syllable, including compound words. 2 Some elements of the text type can be seen e.g. it is an information text (and not a recount) If ‘off topic’ a max of 1 mark is available. 1 Evidence of grouping of ideas. 1 Simple sentences are generally grammatically correct. 'and' may be used to connect clauses. 1 Straightforward sentences usually demarcated accurately, e.g. full stops, capital letters, question and exclamation marks. 1 Correct spelling of high frequency words eg, because, there, their. 1 Award 0 where performance fails to meet the lowest description.
