Grades G-D You will be able to give no more than 2 reasons for your opinion when answering a (d) type question. Grade C You will be able to give 3 explained reasons for your opinion when answering a (d) type question. Grade B You will be able to give 4 well explained reasons for your opinion when answering a (d) type question. Grade A-A* You will be able to give 5- 6 well explained reasons for your opinion when answering a (b) type question. Look at the following (a) question answers... REMEMBER these are when you give DEFINITIONS to KEY WORDS. You need to decide if the answer is: GOOD = Full correct definition = 2 MARKS (full marks) BAD = Incorrect definition = 0 MARKS INBETWEEN = Partially correct definition = 1 MARK The (a) questions and answers... What is adultery? Having an affair. INBETWEEN = 1 marks – correct = A sexual act between a married person and someone they are not married to. What is cohabitation? Staying with your marriage partner and only having sex with them BAD = 0 mark – correct = Living together and in a relationship without being married. What is promiscuity? Having sex with a number of partners without commitment. GOOD = 2 marks What is pre-marital sex? Sex before marriage. GOOD = 2 marks What is procreation? Making babies. INBETWEEN = 1 Mark – correct = Having sex in order to make a new life. These questions give you 2 marks just for knowing the key words and their meanings – EASY This means you MUST learn ALL the key words for every unit as the (a) questions make up 10% of your exam. How are they marked? Its SIMPLES... These questions are for 2 marks – you get FULL marks for a correct definition . If you give a definition that is PARTLY right you will get ONE mark. Now its YOUR turn... You now have 4 minutes to answer the following... Please write out the two words and what they mean. a. What is MARRIAGE? (2 marks) a. What is DIVORCE?

These questions ask you to give YOUR OPINION. (i) You must give 3 REASONS why you agree OR disagree. (ii) You must give 3 REASONS why some people might disagree with YOUR opinion. You MUST include some religious beliefs/teachings in at least one of the sections to get fill marks. Remember to split up you arguments... one part must agree and the other must disagree. How are they marked? Its SIMPLES... These type of questions are worth 6 marks. These questions are split into TWO parts – (i) & (ii)... Each part is marked out of 3 – you get ONE mark for each point you make. “All religious parents should make sure their children believe in God.” In your answer you should refer to at least one religion. (ii) reasons why some mayfor disagree with you. (i) Give Do you agree? Give people reasons your opinion. Some people mayIdisagree with meshould because Christian parents wantwhen to raise their I disagree because think everyone make their own decisions it comes children as well as they can and teaching them about God makes their children to religion. morally good people. 1 mark given for ONE reason It also goes against their basic human rights to have the freedom to choose their Christian parents also believe that it is their duty to raise their child to follow own religion. their religion and teach them about God. 2 marks given for ONE reason Also religions people during ceremonies to raise It is many like brainwashing and make wouldpromises goes against thetheir idea wedding of free will. any children they have to follow their religion so it is important to do so. 3 marks given for ONE reason Have a go at marking... Look at the following answers and give them a mark out of 6. Remember you must mark each section out of 3 then add this up to get a total out of 6! ‘’Christians should never use contraception.” In your answer you should refer to at least ONE religion. (i) Do you agree? (3 Marks) I agree because some Christians believe that sex is only for procreation (having a baby) and contraception stops a woman having one. (i) Give reasons why some people may disagree with you. (3 Marks) Some people might disagree because some Christians think that sex is a gift from God to give pleasure to each other. ‘Christians should never use contraception’ In you answer you should refer to at least ONE religion. (i) Do you agree? (3 Marks) I agree because Roman Catholics believe that sex is for procreation only and contraception stops that process happening. I also agree because the Bible says that human beings should reproduce and if Christians use contraception that won’t happen. (i) Give reasons why some people may disagree with you. (3 Marks) Some people might disagree with me because Christianity teaches that love is important and sex enables a couple to show their love without getting pregnant. Another reason why people might disagree is that the Bible doesn’t say anywhere that contraception is wrong so Christians should be able to use it. ‘Christians should never use contraception’ In you answer you should refer to at least ONE religion. (i) Do you agree? (3 Marks) I agree because in the Bible it says that humans should “be fruitful and multiply”. This means having children and if Christians use contraception they are preventing children being born. I also agree because Roman Catholics don’t allow artificial contraception because it stops procreation taking place (making babies). They believe that the purpose of sex is to have children and contraception stops that. My final reason is that contraception can encourage people to be promiscuous (sleep around) and Christians believe this is wrong and that sex should only be done within marriage. (i) Give reasons why some people may disagree with you. (3 Marks) Some people may disagree with me because they believe sex was created by God to give pleasure to a couple who loved each other. Using contraception lets them use that gift and not worry about getting pregnant. Contraception can also help protect a woman’s health because it stops sexually transmitted diseases. It is a loving thing to do to care for people like that and this is why some Christians like Protestants allow the use of contraception. A final reason is that the Bible doesn’t mention contraception at all; if Christians were not allowed to use it then wouldn’t the Bible say so? ‘Christians should never use contraception’ In you answer you should refer to at least ONE religion. (i) Do you agree? (3 Marks) Yes I do (i) Give reasons why some people may disagree with you. (3 Marks) Because they are not me This gets you NOTHING! Time for some exercise! Count the number of times the number “6” appears below 1234467889974674657865876576576 3576573625432657346578436578342 2732188582735827456724687343828 7672878682768723682376783768267 2647648823178346432764876774653 7436574386581483627868653873465 This type of exercise has been used by the army to improve attention and concentration. The answer is: Now its YOUR turn... You now have 10 minutes to answer Q1 and Q2 on p33 of your Revision Workbook. Structure is important! The following structure can help... (i) I agree/disagree because.... Also (like Christians/Muslims)..... Finally.... (ii) Some people (Christians/Muslims) might disagree with me because... Also... Finally... PEER MARKING Swap books with the person next to you. 1. Mark their (d) answer giving them a mark out of 6 (mark each section out of 3 then add this up to get a total out of 6). 2.
