| The student produces one piece of creative writing at least 350 words in length. In that piece, the student:
- develops ideas that may include thoughts, feelings, experiences or sensory qualities.
- builds on a single idea by adding details, linking that idea to other ideas and details.
- ensures that vocabulary selection, syntax, stylistic features and written text conventions (including spelling, punctuation, grammar) are appropriate.
- uses written text conventions without intrusive error patterns, such as a pattern of errors in syntax (e.g. sentence fragments, where structures are not used intentionally; and ‘run on’ syntax); or a pattern of other significant errors (e.g. mixed tense sequences, mis‑capitalisation, spelling errors)
