 * __Assessment Focuses (AFs)__**

Look at your last assessment! What are your targets? What key skill areas do you need to improve?

Can you effectively **comment on the effect of language an author has chosen, (Reading AF5**) for example?

This means being able to say why a writer has chosen particular words/phrases and what effects they have on the reader.

Or

Can you **vary sentences for clarity, purpose or effect (Writing AF5)?**

This means you creating sentences and choosing particular words/phrases for the effect you want to have on the reader.

Can you see how these two skills are linked? In Reading, you are **__recognising__** and in writing you are **__designing__**
