Being able to express yourself well through writing is a very important skill. You can convince people of your ideas, inspire and admonish all through this one simple skill.
For the L2 and 3 Achievement Standards, writing portfolio requires you to complete at least TWO pieces of writing to publication standard (so pretty much perfect spelling, grammar and punctuation as well as well reasoned ideas that are structured (ordered) really well). Both pieces need to be around 650 words long for Level 3 and around 500 words for Level 2. Both of these count towards University Entrance Literacy.
For the L3 Unit Standard, you need to write THREE pieces of 200-400 words. Your ideas need to be logical, connected and be edited.
