NOTE TO TEACHERS: At the end of this paper ETA has provided some general guidelines for marking to help in the assessment process. However, as each school has set its own assessment practices in place and each school teaches different texts to different students, the teachers need to engage with the assessment processes themselves and establish specific points of distinction between answers. We see this as part of our professional skills and responsibilities. We have provided templates and examples for your guidance only.
