Writes with a convincing individual voice using text and sentence structures that contribute to meaning and purpose.
Reflective writers are beginning to write with a convincing individual voice, selecting an appropriate level of formality. They can adapt or combine the usual conventions of certain text types in order to create more imaginative and effective pieces of writing. Control over structure across the whole text is becoming more secure.
The development of topics within paragraphs is often well managed so that meaning and purpose are clear. Links between paragraphs usually ensure that the development of ideas is clearly signalled to the reader. Reflective writers are becoming increasingly confident in deploying a range of sentences that contribute to the overall effect of their writing. Punctuation within longer sentences is still developing, as they are beginning to deploy a full range of punctuation marks.
