Dear Hush Puppy….
• GROUP WORK
Dear hush puppy,
I am writing to complain why did my shoe ribbon fall of so
easily.
Do you know that also my friends shoe ribbon fell. Another
reason why is because my shoe is kind of new so I don’t think
the ribbon should easily fall of.
These facts show that next time you should stick the ribbon
more carefully.
Finally I will want to say that you should be disgusted for your
bad quality shoe.
Yours sincerely,
Natasha Despoja, aged 10.
Step 1: The Rewrite
• Do not only focus on grammar…think also of
word choice and meaning made between the
writer and the intended reader.
• Try to stay as close as possible to the original
intent of this student writer.
Step 2: What changes did you make?
Exam Question: Use the re-writing to name the
meaning (experiential or interpersonal) with which
the student-writer of the text has more difficulty.
Comment also on the grammatical system which is
least well controlled in the text.
Experiential meaning: word choice; ngs, process
types, vgs (structure of)
Interpersonal meaning: pronouns, mood, modality,
tense, voice, evaluative language
BEGIN WRITING
Step One: Example of a rewrite
Dear Hush Puppy,
I am writing to complain about the ribbon on my
new Hush Puppy shoes. It fell off very easily. My
friend’s shoe ribbon also fell off.
My shoes are new so this should not happen. (I
would like a refund.)
Sincerely,
Step 2: What changes did you make?
Exam Question: Use the re-writing to name the meaning (experiential or
interpersonal) with which the student-writer of the text has more difficulty.
Comment also on the grammatical system which is least well controlled in the
text.
The writer chose interrogative mood (F^S).
Declarative is a better choice (S^F) for this text as it
is giving information about the shoe and the
problems with the shoe.
What changes did you make?
• Use the re-writing to name the meaning (experiential or interpersonal) with
which the student-writer of the text has more difficulty. Comment also on
the grammatical system which is least well controlled in the text.
The writer used the personal pronoun “you/your”
(referring to the reader) 3 times and “my/I” four
times in the text. The text is too personal for a letter
of complaint (which is more impersonal in nature?)
