Paper 2 Questions 8 and 9: transactional writing
Paper 2 writing
What you need to know
The 40-mark writing task: a choice of two tasks, each setting a form and an audience, with bullet points to use or go beyond.
How it is marked: 24 marks for AO5 (communication and organisation) and 16 for AO6 (vocabulary, sentences, spelling and punctuation), and how to plan and write within Section B's 45 minutes.
A weaker and a stronger response to one task side by side, with the level and mark an examiner would give each for AO5 and AO6, and why.
The tasks follow on, by theme, from the two texts about a workhouse casual ward used in the reading lessons.
