1. Creative Writing Controlled Assessment, April 2012: Mr Waugh’s Year 10 Class
Creative Writing
A national project – C21st UK - wishes to collect from young
people writing which reflects life in the UK in the C21st. Your
writing should focus on aspects of young people’s lives which
you feel are important. You can choose the form of the
writing e.g. journalism or narrative.
Your answer should be around 600 words in length.
The achievement objectives for this assessment state that it should:
Ø Write to communicate clearly, effectively and imaginatively, using and
adapting forms and selecting vocabulary appropriate to task and purpose
in ways that engage the reader.
Ø Organise information and ideas into structured and sequenced sentences,
paragraphs and whole texts, using a variety of linguistic and structural
features to support cohesion and overall coherence.
Ø Use a range of sentence structures for clarity, purpose and effect, with
accurate punctuation and spelling.
Using your own experience as inspiration:
Ø You may wish to express your ideas about something you feel strongly
about - or you may prefer to explain an aspect of society that you have an
interest in or knowledge about.
Ø Express your opinion using a range of persuasive devices
Ø Match your writing style to its purpose - if something is to be provocative,
use devices that provoke, if it’s humourous, use effects that add humour.
You have two periods to complete this controlled assessment, run in two
sessions with an overnight break between these. The first session should be
used for planning and drafting your response, and the second for editing and
producing a final copy - remember, in this assessment spelling, punctuation
and grammar are assessed.
