L.O.N. Checklist. Language – 30% : Was there a clear beginning, middle and end / an introduction, complication, climax and conclusion / some distinct arrangement to the sequence of events? Was there a definite setting as regards time and place. Was it interesting and original (not a remake of Fast and Furious Fifteen) Were descriptions vivid and realistic? Were characters realistic and convincing (i.e. did you use effect description and dialogue)? Did the story have a lesson?

Purpose – 30%, Coherence – 30% : Note: Language of narration can be the easiest or hardest to do. You can link different arguments or information together with the odd line. Here however, there must be a flow of writing. Spend extra time planning this type of work.
