Paetae - Achieved - " You've got good ideas but they need developing... you've got some examples but no paragraphs and you need to work on your spelling and punctuation"
Kaiaka - Merit - "That's where your ideas are really clear but your examples lack detail, so you need to put more detail in"
Kairangi - Excellence - "That's where it's nice and clear, it's persuasive, there are good examples used; there's one idea per paragraph so you're really detailed in your work and there's not many errors... SO which one are you going to go for?"
" I'm probably going to go for excellence because last time Matua told me that I have to improve on my punctuation."
