Fluent and coherent writing · Part 2 of 3
3 exam-style questions with model answers, plus 4 quick multi-choice questions — every question on this part of the standard, grouped by the 1 page of notes they come from.
Write a full answer before you reveal the model one. That comparison is where the learning happens.
Explain the difference between fluent and coherent writing, and describe how you would check each in your own piece.
A reflective piece about a summer spent thinning apples near Hastings stays on the orchard throughout, but two of its six paragraphs explain the seasonal-labour industry and argue that the pay structure is unfair. Explain why this is a coherence problem and how to repair it.
Fluency is often treated as the easiest of the five demands. Evaluate that view, and discuss the ways in which fluency can actively work against a piece.
