[English] Literature Unit 3 Alternative viewpoints

Thu Jul 27 12:16:31 EST 2006

To what extent has this analysis and evaluation of the reviewer's language
been used to frame the student's interpretation of the text?  Both things
have to be going on, don't they? Are you concerned that the student does not
offer much an explicit, independent reading of the original text but is
caught up in the language of the review?

Subject: [English] Literature Unit 3 Alternative viewpoints
I need some advice about marking responses to the Literature SAC where
alternative viewpoints are considered. (review of a review, as some call
it). A student has done a close analysis of the reviewer's language and made
evaluative comments about vocabulary choices etc. This is asked for in the
study design, which i overlooked, but the marking criteria/descriptions do
not seem to cover this approach. 
What do you thinK?
Helen

Dear teachers

I have been getting a number of requests lately from schools needing markers
for practice exams (English, ESL, Lit and Language).  If any teachers are
interested or available to mark student exams (the payment is usually
negotiated with the school) could you please contact me at the VATE office
so I can pass your contact details on.

Kind regards
