Lesson details
Key learning points

- The hollistic approach to answering encompasses all three assessment objectives.
- The command word used in the question determines the AO3 skill required.
- The skill can be either anlayse, discuss, evaluate or justify.
- Synoptic knowledge can be used to support the detail of the AO3 in 9 mark questions.
Keywords
Analyse - separate information in components and identify the characteristics
Evaluate - judge from available evidence
Synoptic - making connections between different topics
Common misconception
For a 9 mark answer I have to make two knowledge points, two applications and five AO3s.
9 mark answers are marked holistically using a levelled response grid. Level descriptors are applied to the overall response. A quantative approach to answering these questions can be limiting to develop the breadth of knowledge and depth of AO3.
Equipment
Level response grid from a mark scheme.
