The Theme<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some students<strong> write off the point <\/strong>and fail for Content. Others get so involved in their stories that they <strong>forget the theme<\/strong> that they were supposed to focus on and simply mention it in the Falling Action part of the compo, which is too late to score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some themes require students to <strong>develop two parts in their compo<\/strong>. Failing to develop one part equally can result in a failure in Content. For example, the theme, <em>A Problem that I Solved<\/em>, requires the student to <strong>write about a problem<\/strong> that the protagonist faced and then <strong>how the protagonist solved that problem<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Grammatical mistakes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Students who scored below 30 had <strong>grammatical and structure mistakes<\/strong>. From punctuation to tenses to spelling, students who scored less than 30 had these mistakes in their composition. Some of my students, who hardly make any grammatical mistakes during our weekly writing sessions, suddenly had a number of them during the recent examination due to nerves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students who already know the grammatical rules, need to be <strong>more mindful while writing<\/strong> out their compositions, stopping to check after every paragraph and once again at the end of the composition. If a punctuation mistakes such as in dialogue is a repetitive mistake, <strong>memorise the rule<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Introduction and Ending<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The way a student starts and ends a composition is as important as good descriptive phrases employed throughout the composition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The introduction will perk the marker&#8217;s interest in the story. The ending is the last paragraph the marker reads before scoring the composition so it should be a good one. A good composition should end with a protagonist gaining knowledge and changing so a reflective ending is a perfect way to conclude a story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below, are the conclusions of two of my students who scored <strong>38 and a half \/40 (Something that you treasure) <\/strong>and <strong>35 and a half\/40 (Kicking a bad habit)<\/strong>. Congratulations to both of them and also to my other students who scored 33 and above for their recent P6 SA1 compositions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.1 Example of a conclusion on the theme of Something that you treasure<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;James, Jane, I&#8217;m home with dinner!&#8221; The familiar voice of my father snapped me back to reality. I realised that a puddle had formed on the ground; they were my tears. I set the picture down. As the sun set on that Christmas day, I remembered that the sun would set on everyone&#8217;s life one day. The purpose of life was to treasure the lives of others so that they could die without regret. As I walked out of the room with the picture in hand, I realised that my mother had died without regret. She had been treasured. We had treasured our time with her and I would forever treasure the memories of her. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.2 Example of a conclusion on the theme of Kicking a bad habit<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>That experience was certainly harsh.
