EXTENDED WRITING
2.1 The extended writing questions focus on one of the following levels:
LEVELS OF QUESTIONS
Level 1
Discuss or describe according to a given line of argument set out in the
extended writing question.
Plan and construct an argument based on evidence, using the evidence to
reach a conclusion.
Level 2
Synthesise information to construct an original argument using evidence to
support the argument.
Sustain and defend a coherent and balanced argument with evidence.
Write clearly and coherently in constructing the argument.
2.2 Marking of extended writing
MARKERS MUST BE AWARE THAT THE CONTENT OF THE
ANSWER WILL BE GUIDED BY THE TEXTBOOKS IN USE AT THE
PARTICULAR CENTRE.
CANDIDATES MAY HAVE (ANY OTHER RELEVANT INTRODUCTION
AND OR CONCLUSION THAN THOSE INCLUDED IN A SPECIFIC
EXTENDED WRITING MARKING GUIDELINE.
IN ASSESSING THE OPEN-ENDED SOURCE-BASED QUESTIONS
CANDIDATES SHOULD BE GIVEN CREDIT FOR ANY OTHER
RELEVANT RESPONSE.
Global assessment of extended writing
The extended writing will be assessed holistically (globally). This approach
requires the educator to score the overall product as a whole, without scoring
the component parts separately. This approach encourages the learner to
offer an individual opinion by using selected factual evidence to support an
argument. The learner will not be required to simply regurgitate "facts" in
order to achieve a high mark. This approach discourages learners from
preparing "model" answers and reproducing them without taking into account
the specific requirements of the question. Holistic marking of extended
writing credits learners' opinions supported by evidence. Holistic
assessment, unlike content-based marking, does not penalise language
inadequacies as the emphasis is on the following:
The construction of argument;
The appropriate selection of factual evidence to support such argument;
and
The learner's interpretation of the question.
