GCSE German 8668/RH - Paper 3 Reading Higher Mark scheme June 2018 Version/Stage: 1.0 Final  MARK SCHEME – GCSE GERMAN – 8668/RH – JUNE 2018 Mark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer and considered, together with the relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the standardisation events which all associates participate in and is the scheme which was used by them in this examination. The standardisation process ensures that the mark scheme covers the students’ responses to questions and that every associate understands and applies it in the same correct way. As preparation for standardisation each associate analyses a number of students’ scripts. Alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed and legislated for. If, after the standardisation process, associates encounter unusual answers which have not been raised they are required to refer these to the Lead Assessment Writer. It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and expanded on the basis of students’ 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.

Verbal answers (English or target language) 1. The basic principle of assessment is that students should gain credit for what they know, understand and can do; provided their written response communicates the required message without ambiguity, it will get the mark. The following guidance should be borne in mind when marking. (a) Credit should be given for all answers which convey the key idea required intelligibly and without ambiguity. This applies whether the answer is in English or target language. A separate assessment of spelling, punctuation and grammar is not required because of the nature of the answers. However, these aspects are an integral part of assessing communication and marks cannot be awarded where errors in spelling, punctuation or grammar lead to a failure to communicate the required information without ambiguity. (b) Where a student has given alternatives or additional information in an answer, the following criteria should be applied: - if the alternative/addition does not contradict the key idea/make it ambiguous, accept - If the alternative/addition contradicts the key idea or makes it ambiguous, reject. (c) Where numbered lines are given within a question/section of a question, credit should be given for correct answers, no matter which line they appear on. (d) Where a question has more than one section (eg (i) and (ii), a candidate may include as part of the answer to one section the information required to answer another section. Eg, in Listening, information required to answer section (ii) might be given as part of the answer to section (i). In such cases, credit should be given for having answered section (ii), provided that no incorrect answer has been given for that section in the correct place on the question paper. 2. In questions where students are asked to give for example a list of three items, only the first three items they write down should be considered for assessment purposes. 3. No mark scheme can cover all possible answers. When in doubt, look for the key idea. 4. Where a student has crossed out an answer and what was underneath remains legible then it should be marked. When part of an answer is crossed out, then only what remains should be considered. 5..../.. means that these are acceptable alternative answers in the mark scheme. (.....) means that this information is not needed for full marks to be awarded. 6. In questions which are T/F/? or √/X/? in either Section A or Section B, a mix and match approach should be tolerated and credit given where it is clear and unambiguous (eg consistent use by the candidate). If candidates write ‘True’ instead of ‘V’ for Vrai in Section B, this should also be credited despite the wrong language being used. 3  MARK SCHEME – GCSE GERMAN – 8668/RH – JUNE 2018 7. The following general principles should be applied in relation to answers in the target language in Section B: A. Incorrect personal pronouns – accept (unless this causes ambiguity) B. Incorrect possessive adjectives – accept (unless this causes ambiguity) C. Wrong gender – accept (unless this causes ambiguity) D. Infinitive – will normally communicate without ambiguity, so should be accepted E. Wrong tense – accept as long as student comprehension is not in question F. Minor spelling errors – accept as long as the answer is understandable with no ambiguity. In Section B, this means that even if the spelling error results in the creation of a word in another language, including English, then provided it is a recognisable attempt at a spelling in the target language, it will be credited. 4  MARK SCHEME – GCSE GERMAN – 8668/RH – JUNE 2018 Mark Question Past Present Future ACCEPT: ACCEPT: use(s) organic / bio / natural help (threatened / endangered) waste (in garden) animals / species make(s) compost compost(s) – as a verbal idea 2 Anna garden(s) organically REJECT: past tense references 01 bio fuel uses a garden bin ACCEPT: ACCEPT: did nothing learn / find out / research about alternative / renewable / different / green energy (sources) learn to use alternative energy Leo 2 REJECT: use / find alternative energy (sources) Question Accept Mark 02 B, C, F (in any order – 1 mark each) 3 5  MARK SCHEME – GCSE GERMAN – 8668/RH – JUNE 2018 Question Accept Mark 03.1 P 1 03.2 M 1 03.3 B 1 Question Key ideas Accept Reject Mark See General principles of marking 2 – if more than two items are given here, only the first two should be considered for assessment purposes he is a drug addict he is a drug user / does he is a drug dealer drugs he steals / stole he has become a thief 04.1 he is / was a thief 2 he takes / took money / things to help him stop his to help him find a better addiction way/path to help him stop stealing (2 from 3) Question Key ideas Accept Reject Mark he needs to go on a he needs to go to rehab he needs help (too vague) rehabilitation course he needs to go for he needs to realise how treatment serious his problem is / he 04.2 must accept he has a 1 he needs to visit a clinic problem (too general) to keep him away from to keep him from coming his friends / clique into contact with drugs 6  MARK SCHEME – GCSE GERMAN – 8668/RH – JUNE 2018 Question Key ideas Accept Reject Mark he will lie / he will tell lies he may well could / lie / he he will deny it / he will say he is likely to lie has not got a problem 04.3 1 he will not talk about it Question Key ideas Accept Reject Mark self-help group support / help group 04.4 1 Question Accept Mark 05.1 F 1 F 05.2 1 05.3 NT 1 05.4 T 1 05.5 T 1 7  MARK SCHEME – GCSE GERMAN – 8668/RH – JUNE 2018 Question Key ideas Accept Reject Mark because of her conductor (because) her conductor her conductor is angry / the conductor is bossy never smiles / gets angry mad / cross / bad- 06.1 (quickly) tempered / evil / moody 1 director / leader / teacher her conductor never laughs Question Key ideas Accept Reject Mark she can relax it helps her to / it is a good way to relax 06.2 1 (it is) relaxing Question Key ideas Accept Reject Mark they spend a lot of / so they always listen to music they listen to their much time listening to on their (smart)phone (smart)phone (without idea 06.3 1 music on their of a long time and music) (smart)phone Question Accept Mark 07.1 B 1 07.2 C 1 07.3 C 1 8  MARK SCHEME – GCSE GERMAN – 8668/RH – JUNE 2018 Question Key ideas Accept Reject Mark she had to leave her moving away from her losing her friends friends (behind) friends 08.1 going to a new school 1 without her friends going to a new school (in isolation) Question Key ideas Accept Reject Mark not as bad as she not as terrible / awful / it was nice / good (on its own thought / imagined / dreadful as she thought / -
