English Hl Grade 9 ANA 2014 Memo (English)

Downloaded from hlayiso.com ANNUAL NATIONAL ASSESSMENT 2014 MARKS: 100 GRADE 9 ENGLISH HOME LANGUAGE MEMORANDUM This memorandum consists of 6 pages. MARKS: 80 NOTE: • This marking memorandum is intended as a guide for markers. • Learners’ responses should be considered on merit. • Answers should be assessed holistically and marks awarded accordingly. INSTRUCTIONS TO MARKERS • Incorrect spelling in one-word answers should not be marked incorrect, unless the spelling changes the meaning of the word. • Incorrect spelling and language errors in longer responses should not be penalised, because the focus is on understanding. • For open-ended questions, no mark should be awarded for YES/NO or I AGREE/I DISAGREE. The reason/substantiation is what should be considered. • For FACT/OPINION questions, the mark should be split, i.e. 1 mark for FACT/OPINION and a mark for the reason/substantiation. The mark for the reason/substantiation should only be awarded if the FACT/OPINION part of the question is correct. One cannot award a mark for substantiation or an interpretation (FACT/OPINION) that was wrong in the first place. • For questions which require quotations from the text, do not penalise learners for omitting the quotation marks or for an incorrect spelling within the quotation. • When one-word answers are required and the learner gives a whole sentence, mark correct only if the correct word is underlined/highlighted. • When two/three facts/points are required and a range is given, mark only the first two/three. • For multiple-choice questions, accept BOTH the letter corresponding with the correct answer AND the answer written out in full. But keep to the mark allocation. Grade 9 English HL Memo 1
