Mark Scheme

klm

2

Mark schemes are prepared by the Principal Examiner and considered, together with the relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the standardisation meeting attended by all examiners and is the scheme which was used by them in this examination. The standardisation meeting ensures that the mark scheme covers the candidates’ responses to questions and that every examiner understands and applies it in the same correct way. As preparation for the standardisation meeting each examiner analyses a number of candidates’ scripts: alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed at the meeting and legislated for. If, after this meeting, examiners encounter unusual answers which have not been discussed at the meeting they are required to refer these to the Principal Examiner. It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and expanded on the basis of candidates’ reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark schemes on the basis of one year’s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular examination paper.

AS UNIT 1 (PRESCRIBED PLAY) MARK SCHEME DRAM1B JUNE 2010 INTRODUCTION This section of Unit 1 assesses Assessment Objectives 2 and 3. AO2 requires that candidates “demonstrate knowledge and understanding of practical and theoretical aspects of drama and theatre using appropriate terminology”. AO3 requires that candidates “interpret plays from different periods and genres”. AO2 and AO3 have weightings of 10% and 20% respectively. Questions are marked for each of the two Assessment Objectives separately and then the marks added together to give a total out of 50. Quality of Written Communication (QWC) is also assessed. All questions require answers written in continuous prose. Statements referring to QWC are included within the assessment criteria for each performance band. QWC will be assessed as an integral part of the judgement of the quality of a candidate’s response.

DRAMA AND THEATRE STUDIES (DRAM1B)

Shorthand/symbols for Examiners

Examiners may use these recognised symbols in the left hand margin of candidates’ scripts or in the body of the answers, against relevant points or errors: relevant or good point =

very good point =

dubious point = ?

possible = ( )

omission = ⋀⋀

point needs development = and….?

argument difficult to follow/confusion/muddle = in margin

evidence of knowledge = kn

evidence of understanding = und

evidence of practical theatre awareness = prac

wrong-headed/silly argument or suggestion = !

repetition = R

irrelevance = I

narrative = N

factually wrong = X

contradiction = C

practical detail missing = How?

losing focus on question = Q?

unattributed quotation = source?

wrong word used = ww

poor expression = E

spelling error = rehursal or rehersal [underline or ring]

example needed = eg?

literary argument = lit

generalised = G

specialist terminology needed = term?

Examiners may still make fuller comments, as appropriate, in the body or margin of the script and should ALWAYS put a summative comment, at the end of the candidate’s answer, which relates clearly to the individual AOs.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE BANDS FOR UNIT ONE SECTION B AO2 AO3 Candidates demonstrate knowledge and

understanding of practical and theoretical aspects of drama and theatre using appropriate terminology

Candidates interpret plays from different periods and genres

Band 4

• The candidate identifies some performance and/or production elements

• There is a restricted theoretical understanding of the text informing practical decisions

• There are a few references to the text in action • The organisation of straightforward information is

clear, but for more complex matters it may appear random. Appropriate terminology is applied sparingly. There may be a number of lapses in expression and frequent errors in spelling, grammar and punctuation which may make the answer difficult to follow

• The candidate provides an interpretation, but it is not coherent or may be inconsistent with the content/action of the nominated section(s) or the role/function of the nominated character(s) within the play

• A few references may be made to period/genre • A little attention is given to creating specific effects

for the audience

Band 3

• The candidate is sometimes inventive in the application of performance and/or production elements

• There is evidence of a partial theoretical understanding of the text, which informs practical decisions

• There are several references to the text in action • Information is organised sufficiently clearly and

coherently for the candidate’s meaning to be clear. There is some insecure expression with occasional, accurate use of appropriate terminology; there may be some errors in spelling, grammar and punctuation, but not enough to suggest a significant weakness in these areas

• The candidate’s interpretation is a little disjointed and/or is not entirely compatible with the content/action of the nominated section(s) or the role/function of the nominated character(s) within the play

• Brief relevant reference is made to period/genre • Some attention is given to creating specific effects

for the audience

Band 2

• The candidate is regularly quite inventive in the application of a range of performance and/or production elements

• There is evidence of a secure theoretical understanding of the text, informing practical decisions

• There is relevant use of the text in action to illustrate ideas

• Information is quite well-organised. Expression is mainly clear, including accurate use of appropriate terminology; there are infrequent errors in spelling, grammar and punctuation

• The candidate’s interpretation is quite unified and is reasonably compatible with the content/action of the nominated section(s) or the role/function of the nominated character(s) within the play

• Useful reference is made to period/genre • Useful attention is given to creating specific effects

for the audience

Band 1

• The candidate reveals consistent inventiveness in the application of a good range of performance and/or production elements

• There is evidence of a very sound theoretical understanding of the text, informing practical decisions

• There is purposeful use of the text in action to illustrate ideas

• Information is well-organised, making the candidate’s meaning very clear. Expression is very clear, including a confident and accurate use of appropriate terminology; there are few, if any, errors in spelling, grammar and punctuation

• The candidate’s interpretation is clear and coherent and entirely compatible with the content/action of the nominated section(s) or the role/function of the nominated character(s) within the play

• Purposeful reference is made to period/genre • Focused attention is given to creating specific

effects for the audience
