Any particular reason?

Yes MWB22, this is DD's piece of work unmarked(comment on the top simply says good) by her teacher, and I would like to know how some of you would grade this.
Some of DD's written pieces are graded, but this particular one and few others are not.

Very strong 1a/2c-good punctuation, some evidence (though not across the board ) of connectives.Written for audience andpurpose.Descriptive language.
I would do a very secure 1A but could see why it would come up as 2C-I would just want more evidence.

That's unusal. We don't usually level single pieces of writing. I might identify it as evidence of level 1 or level 2, but not down to sublevels. If using APP sublevels are assigned depending on whether certain AFs (assessment focus) have been met, so there are not separate (or progressive) criteria for c, b & a. A quick glance at that would have me reaching for level 1/2 APP guidelines, looking closely at most level 1 criteria, maybe some level 2. But I wouldn?t be happy giving an a, b or c on a single piece.

why do you want to know the grade?
teachers don't level every piece of work
they get a feel for level across several pieces
i level at the end of a unit of work
don't stress about it
