NOTE: This is a criterion-reference tool.
The teacher should highlight or tick applicable criteria in the second column. The number of ticks in this second column does not always determine the mark obtained in columns 4 to 8. Relate the criteria to the mark, e.g. in item 1, if answers to all 5 questions are evident, then a mark of 4 is awarded.
