Title: SAC weightings for unit 3
Post by: dekoyl on July 16, 2009, 08:53:19 pm

Does every school have to do the same number and type of SAC for unit 3? If so, what is each SAC worth?
For unit 3, we did three SACs: A context piece, a language analysis piece and a text response (delivered via presentation). How much is each part worth?
Thanks =]

i'm assuming equal amounts (since its worth equal amounts in the exam) to contribute to 25% of your SS.

our language analysis component was tested via an oral presentation and analysis of 3 articles, each worth 20 marks each, so i think that the context piece and text response were worth 30 each, while the language analysis worth 40

We do this:

Unit 3:

Oral presentation (out of 20)
Language analysis (out of 30)
Text response [A man for all seasons] (out of 20)
Imaginative context [identity and belonging essay] (out of 30)

Unit 4:

Context expository essay (out of 50)
Text response [Richard III] (out of 50)

That's really similar to our marks aswell

30 for Text Response,
20 for language analysis,
20 for oral,
30 for context.
