Note on
assessing Writing Tasks.
Q. 4 Content : 2 marks
Expression : 2 marks (Accuracy
& Fluency)
Total : 4 marks
Upto one mark may be deducted for
spelling, punctuation and grammar errors.
Q. 5 Content : 3 marks
Fluency : 2 marks
Accuracy : 1 mark
Total : 6 marks
Upto one mark may be deducted for
spelling, punctuation and grammar errors.
Q.6 Content : 3 marks
Fluency : 2 marks
Accuracy : 2 marks
Total : 7 marks
Upto two marks may be deducted
for spelling punctuation and grammar errors.
Q. 7: Content : 4 marks
Fluency : 2 marks
Accuracy : 2 marks
Total : 8 marks
Upto two marks may be deducted
for spelling, punctuation and grammar errors.
Though marks have been allotted
specifically for Content, they should not be awarded in a mechanical manner.
For
instance, if a student has merely
mentioned the value points (content) as per the marking scheme, the examiner
should assess whether the content
has been expressed/communicated in a coherent and cohesive manner.
It
means content and expression are
perceived as interlinked aspects of writing.
Similarly in all the writing
tasks credit should be given to creativity in the realm of ideas and language
use. What it
means for the examiner is that
students who think differently and are able to use the language with felicity
in terms of
structures as well as vocabulary
should be given due weightage. This need not necessarily be seen as leaning
towards
subjectivity in marking. A proper
balance of content, expression (accuracy, fluency, cohesion and coherence)
and creativity would encourage
students to aim for higher standards in written communication. Errors in
spelling,
punctuation and grammar should be
penalised to the extent of marks allotted for Accuracy.
84
Grammar:
Grammar items mentioned in the
syllabus will be taught and assessed summatively as well as formatively over a
period of time. There will be no
division of syllabus for Grammar in the summative of formative assessments for

- up of the Work Book for the two terms is given to help teachers in planning

* NOTE ON
WORKBOOK
The suggested split up of the
units of the Workbook reflects a distribution for the purpose of classroom
teaching
only. Since grammar and usage
is not to be tested discreetly, but in an integrated manner, the split up as shown above will
not restrict questions in the grammar section of SA I and SA II question papers
to the specific units
shown in the split up of Workbook units. Grammar will be tested recycling
grammar items learn over a period of time in a
comprehensive manner. Teachers may adapt this suggested distribution for
classroom
teaching making modifications
according to their specific needs. Similarly Formative Assessment of grammar
items
may also be carried out in an
integrated manner along with the skills of Reading, Writing, Speaking and
Listening as
well as Literature.
Note:
1. Formative Assessment is assessment
'for' learning. Thus schools may adapt the above break-up as per
their convenience.
2. All activities related to
Formative Assessment such as Language games, quizzes, projects, role plays,
dramatization, script writing etc
must be done as 'in class' and 'in school' activities. In case, a field survey
or
visit is taken up it must be under the direct
supervision of the teacher.
