Guidelines for marking

The following guidelines for marking show one approach to assigning a value to a student’s work. Other approaches may be used that better suit the reporting process of the school. Categories, marks, grades, visual representations or individual comments/notations may all be useful.

Range	A student in this range:
11-15 (High)	creates an effective text using a range of linguistic patterns and structures to convey information and express own ideas for a specific purpose applies grammatical rules and conventions to the development of clear and cohesive text identifies and incorporates relevant aspects of the culture of Chinese-speaking communities in the development of text writes most Hànzì accurately.
6-10 (Satisfactory)	creates a text using some linguistic patterns and structures to convey information and express own ideas for a specific purpose applies grammatical rules and conventions to the development of cohesive text identifies and incorporates aspects of the culture of Chinese-speaking communities in the development of text writes in Hànzì and Pīnyīn.
1-5 (Progressing)	creates a text using a limited number of linguistic patterns and structures to convey information and express own ideas applies grammatical rules and conventions to the development of text, relying on teacher support and modelled linguistic structures incorporates some aspects of the culture of Chinese-speaking communities in the development of text writes in Pīnyīn with a limited number of Hànzì.

Feedback

The teacher will provide written feedback. Comments will inform students about their ability to:

convey information and express ideas in Chinese
use particular vocabulary and structures that are appropriate for a promotional flyer
identify and incorporate aspects of culture of Chinese-speaking communities
write Hànzì and Pīnyīn accurately.

Future directions

If evidence indicates that students have experienced difficulty with the writing of the text for the promotional flyer, teachers may need to adjust subsequent learning experiences through additional modelling of structures and scaffolding to support the construction of text. Students whose performances satisfy the criteria then progress to the next Activity, where they role-play a shopping transaction in a clothing store.
