Please check Bloom’s Taxonomies with possible questions for the different
grades.
All grades must start with low order, middle order and then high order
questions.
All papers must start with multiple choice questions.
All grades must have a question on writing a paragraph – see criteria from the
assessment document.
We need to start questions from Bloom’s Taxonomies.
Let us try to keep to the prescribe mark allocation from the policy document.
If you feel you can double up with marks then divide by 2 for calculation if you
cannot cover all the work.
Please remember all papers must be 1 hour long.
Pictures must be clear, use outlines of pictures.
All pares must consist of a section A, which will cover work from term 1 and
section B which will cover work from term 2.
The high order question will come from work from term 2.
When questions are set please ensure it is in line with content and in line with
the grade. (use language for grade, not higher than the grade)
Please when common papers are set, use different text books so that we do
not disadvantage our learners.
Questions and papers must be fair to all learners across the district.
