Question 1
Read Text A and Text B in the insert (as found in the November 2022 (0500/23 (opens in a new tab)) exam paper) and then answer the question.
Imagine that you are a student at another school in the same district as Champion School. Your school is considering whether to follow the same plan as Champion School or not.
Write a speech to give to a meeting of parents and teachers from your school about why all-year round schooling would not be a good idea.
In your speech you should:
evaluate the ideas, attitudes and opinions about all-year-round schooling given in the texts
explain your concerns about changing to all-year-round schooling and how it would affect parents, teachers and the wider community.
Base your speech on what you have read in both texts, but be careful to use your own words. Address both of the bullet points.
Write about 250 to 350 words. Up to 15 marks are available for the content of your answer, and up to 25 marks for the quality of your writing.
