Comment

Some sound points are made about Priestley’s ideas of justice. Paragraphs are used and the answer deals logically with each character’s involvement in Eva Smith’s death. Examples are also given. There are few references to the writer’s views and techniques, and the answer as a whole is too informal and uses slang. The sentence structure lacks variety and the points made need to be supported more clearly by quotes.

For Grade 4

Make clearer and more developed points about how Priestley is showing his audience about collective responsibility through interlinked events in the play.
Embed quotations consistently in sentences and use them to back up points.
Express points fluently without using informal language.
