What is in the assessment? • You will be presented with a passage of text. There will be questions that will relate to this passage and others that relate to the novel studies. READ the questions CAREFULLY. • The majority of the questions will be based on ‘A Christmas Carol’ but as it is our Term 1 assessment, there will also be some short answer questions on ‘Flipped’.
Sections of the paper • You will need to demonstrate an understanding of the plot, the characters and the interactions that Scrooge has with the other characters in STAVE I and STAVE II. These include: • Multiple choice • Identifying True and false statements • Vocabulary section (from Stave I and II, check the NS pack) • Short Answer questions (using full-sentences) • Identifying characters • Grammar: Three activities that relate to Unit 4 from MyGrammarLab
Questions on ‘Flipped’ • No, we cannot tell you the questions. • None of the questions from the Unit Test have been repeated. • They are short answer questions. • The questions focus on the events towards the end of the book, (the last four chapters) so do not feel the need to revise the whole book.
Scoring • 60 marks for the novel study questions • 10 marks for grammatical correct sentences in the short + answer section. • 30 marks for the grammar section = • 100 marks ∴ your mark = % • Short Answer: Each is worth 3 marks (10 questions). One mark will be awarded for a correct answer, two marks will be awarded for the correct answer in a sentence and full marks will be awarded for a sentence with no grammatical errors.
For example: • What is the name of the main character in ‘A Christmas Carol’? • Scrooge (1 mark) • The main character is Scrooge (2 marks – no full stop) • The name of the main character is Scrooge. (3 marks) • Why did Scrooge choose to work in a counting house? • Loves money (1 mark) • Scrooge wanting to count money. (2 marks – verb tense) • Because he loved counting money.
