This has been designed for feeding back on essays written as part of the A2 religious studies course (2009).
The sheet is given to students before they write the essay so that they have the mark scheme as a reference. When marking the essay, we circle the band that they have achieved for A01/A02 and then complete the feedback boxes on the back. Can also be used for peer/self assessment.
Grade boundaries at the bottom are based on the raw marks from last year's Islam paper (highest boundaries out of all units) and can be tweaked for different units.
