What mark would you award it and why?

MARKING CRITERIAMiddle Responses Were expected to know the poems in more detail, with level

two candidates responding in a narrative manner, showing their understanding of both poems.

Level three candidates were expected to be clearly discussing how the relationship between parent and child is shown in each poem, giving specific textual references as evidence. It was hoped that whilst in level three, candidates would be starting to find contrasts and comparisons between the two poems in order to further evidence their observations in relation to the question.

Higher Responses Expected to be using integrated quotations in their writing

and to be automatically finding comparisons and contrasts across poems; this was most effective when two poems were compared in one paragraph.
