Paper 2 Holiday homework Task

The Paper 2 Holiday Activity assignment (Refer to www.akamitgs.blogspot.com for further details)

Look at the example below of the news article prepared for Paper 2 examination and the original news Item source.

Original News Item

http://www.vegasinc.com/business/2013/jan/04/new-technology-could-put-end-taxicab-long-hauling/

Summarized Article version for the exam

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8VAiXCgqIIbWmg1dkhndFNfQ3M/view?usp=sharing

Discuss in pairs identifying the major differences in the articles and the reason for doing so

You will note that a lot is shifted from the original article to prepare for the exam news article

Your task therefore was to prepare 5 current exam type news articles addressing different social and ethical significance

You are then to pick one news article and prepare a marking scheme in list format as shown in the examples below.

Refer to the examples below;

Assessment

Level	Descriptors
0-4	Limited current news articles have been summarized and made suitable for examination purposes. The article selected failed to addresses unique social and ethical significance. The mark scheme for the selected article does not address all criteria effectively and cannot be effectively used to exhaustively assess paper 2 by the examiner.
5-9	Some current news articles have been partially summarized and made suitable for examination purposes. Each article partially addresses some social and ethical significance. The mark scheme for the selected article has partially addressed all criteria exhaustively and cannot be effectively to assess paper 2 by the examiner.
10-15	5 current news articles have been effectively summarized and made suitable for examination purposes. Each article clearly addresses unique social and ethical significance. The mark scheme for the selected article has extensively addressed all criteria effectively and can be used effectively to assess paper 2 by the examiner.
