Problem
- This paper is built around an extract from Oliver Twist. Dickens writes in long sentences full of irony, and many children at 13 read it at face value. The school’s paper also comes with no mark scheme and no mark bands for the writing, so it is hard to tell what a full-mark answer looks like
Solution
- We have written a model answer for each of the four comprehension questions. Each one has a mark table showing what earns every mark, the evidence from the passage behind it and the answers that get no credit.
- The guide shows where children usually lose marks. In Questions 2 and 4, a quotation only scores if it comes with a comment on its effect. In Question 4, many children take the ‘select party’ in the coal-cellar at face value and miss that the boys have been beaten and locked up for being hungry.
- Both writing tasks are covered: the ‘typical day’ piece and the story ‘Hunger’. The paper only gives a checklist, so for each task we have set out four mark bands, a middle answer, a top answer and a short note comparing the two. We also list the mistakes that cost marks, such as setting the factory piece in Victorian England when the task says today.
- The paper and the 11-page guide are both included. Sit the paper in one hour under timed conditions, then mark it with the guide.
