Summary
Total score: 41 / 49 (≈84%) — Good understanding overall (B). Strong use of clause numbers and most factual points correct. Main issues: one or two inaccuracies, and one incomplete flowchart task.
Overall strengths
- Good recall of Clauses 21, 45, 62 and 65 and what they require (restocking; reporting at Christmas; keeping skilled workers; building ponds where practicable).
- Short answers are generally clear and concise.
- Most creative tasks show sensible, practical steps.
Main weaknesses & how to improve
- One factual answer includes an uncertain claim about profits being used for military supply — check the clause text before asserting where profits go.
- One question about garum referenced the wrong clause number and was a little vague — be careful to match clause numbers with the point they support.
- The 5‑step flowchart task is incomplete (only Step 1 given) — always deliver every required step when asked to produce a set number.
- For multi‑step answers, remember to state where actions must be recorded (Clause 62) when the question specifically asks for it.
Per‑question marking and feedback (2 marks each where shown)
-
Q: When can fish be sold and what must be done after?
Student answer: fish sold when king gone, and profits go to military supply (cl 65)
Score: 1 / 2
Feedback: Correct that fish may be sold when the king is absent and that fish must be replaced/restocked (core of cl.65). The statement that profits go to "military supply" is uncertain or unsupported here — check the clause wording before including where proceeds are allocated. Also add that sales and replacements are recorded (see cl.62).
Model answer (brief): Fish may be sold when the king is away, but sold fish must be replaced/restocked so breeding stock remains (cl.65); sales and income must be recorded in the estate statement (cl.62). -
Q: What must a steward do about ponds?
Student answer: stewards finding unused ponds must expand if practicable
Score: 2 / 2
Feedback: Correct. Clause 21 requires building/expanding ponds where practicable; good use of the word "practicable". -
Q: When and what do stewards send to the king?
Student answer: at Christmas they make statements of fish sales, numbers of restocked fish, and profits plus labor costs (cl62)
Score: 2 / 2
Feedback: Good. Clause 62 requires an annual/accounting statement at Christmas listing incomes (including fish, eggs, pigs, smiths etc.) and relevant costs — well stated. -
Q: Which workmen do stewards keep?
Student answer: skilled fishermen, skilled netmakers, (cl45)
Score: 2 / 2
Feedback: Correct: clause 45 lists skilled workers to keep on the estate (fishermen, netmakers and others). Could list a few more examples, but this is fine. -
Q: If you were a steward where would you place a pond?
Student answer: aquaculture focused near a field crop
Score: 1 / 2
Feedback: Partly clear. The important factor is "where practicable" (water supply, land suitability, access to labour). Saying "near a field crop" can be sensible for integrated estate use, but explain why (water source, easy management). Add reference to cl.21. -
Q: Why should king care if garum is made with dirty hands? (Cl 21)
Student answer: lack of hygiene can result in contamination (cl 34)
Score: 1 / 2
Feedback: The idea (hygiene risks) is correct, but the clause number cited (cl.34) does not match the question (cl.21). Make sure the clause number supports the point. Also expand briefly: contaminated garum harms reputation and health, so the king must care. -
Q: Where should ponds be kept or built, explain?
Student answer: assess site is ‘practicable’, water is clean and workers are reliable (cl21)
Score: 2 / 2
Feedback: Good answer: practicability, water quality and available labour are the correct considerations. -
Q: What do stewards report come Christmas, why?
Student answer: they include geese firewood turnips smiths and fish (cl62)
Score: 2 / 2
Feedback: Correct: the Christmas statement lists various incomes and supplies; naming examples is good. -
Q: What do stewards need to report by Christmas?
Student answer: need to report income from fishponds, eggs, wine, pigs and smiths (cl62)
Score: 2 / 2
Feedback: Good and thorough list; correct clause reference. -
Q: Important people for steward to keep on estate?
Student answer: Soapmakers maintain estate hygiene by crafting soap and blacksmiths create weapons for defence (45)
Score: 2 / 2
Feedback: Good: naming roles and why they matter shows understanding beyond simple recall. -
Q: When does steward sell fish and what action do they take after?
Student answer: If they sold all fish without restocking they break cl 65. They need to restock fish for breeding (65)
Score: 2 / 2
Feedback: Correct and clearly stated: selling is permitted but restocking is required so breeding stock remains. -
Q: What may steward do with fish when king is away?
Student answer: may sell fish (cl65)
Score: 2 / 2
Feedback: Correct and concise. -
Q: Which workers must steward have for Christmas and everyday needs?
Student answer: netmaker, blacksmiths, shoemakers and fishermen (cl45)
Score: 2 / 2
Feedback: Good selection and clause reference. -
Q: Where should steward keep or build fishpond by Xmas?
Student answer: steward must build fishponds where ‘practicable’ (cl21)
Score: 2 / 2
Feedback: Correct and succinct. -
Q: If practicable what should steward do to follow clause 21?
Student answer: check for fishpond expansion potential (cl 21)
Score: 2 / 2
Feedback: Correct, that is the point of the clause. -
Q: What should steward include in report for king?
Student answer: Fish stock numbers, quality of pond upkeep, and cost of fish (cl62)
Score: 2 / 2
Feedback: Good; mentions both quantities and costs — what Clause 62 expects. -
Q: Why should steward keep fisherman instead of hiring for each catch?
Student answer: more efficient and experienced and reliable staff (cl45)
Score: 2 / 2
Feedback: Correct reasoning: trained, reliable staff are more efficient and maintain continuity.
Creative tasks — marking and feedback
1) Five‑step flowchart (stocked season → overstocked; follow cl.65 and record for cl.62)
Requirement: Draw a clear 5‑step flowchart, label each step with 4–10 words, and give 1–2 sentence explanation of the most important step.
Student submission: Only Step 1 was given: "Sell some fish"; explanation: two short sentences about selling tempering overstock and generating income.
Score: 1 / 5
Feedback: You started correctly (selling some fish is an appropriate first action under cl.65) and gave a reasonable short explanation. But the task asked for five numbered/connected steps (sell, restock, record, protect breeding stock, balance sales) and a clear flow showing how to meet cl.65 and cl.62. For full credit, provide all five steps and show where you record sales for the Christmas statement.
Suggested complete 5‑step flowchart (labels 4–10 words):
- Sell surplus fish in controlled amount
- Set aside breeding stock, do not sell
- Restock ponds with purchased/raised fry
- Record sales, restocking, and costs
- Monitor population and adjust future sales
Most important step (example): "Record sales, restocking, and costs" — recording is critical because Clause 62 requires an annual statement and only recorded data proves you followed cl.65 and shows profitability.
2) Four‑step flowchart (king visits in two months) — Student submission
Student boxes: Box 1: If possible, expand fishpond; Box 2: Restock fish; Box 3: Breed fish; Box 4: Limit selling fish
Advice given: Short one‑line links to clauses (expanding cl.21; restocking cl.65; not selling cl.65).
Score: 4 / 4
Feedback: Good, clear steps in the right order. You linked each step to the right clause and explained why it matters. For extra marks you could add a short note saying "record expected income for Christmas (cl.62)" so the steward can show the visit did not reduce long‑term supply.
3) Timed problem — three actions (3 marks)
Student answer (ordered):
- Expand fishpond if possible (cl 21)
- Pause fish sales (cl 65)
- Making statement on income from fishponds (62)
Score: 3 / 3
Feedback: Correct order and clause links. Expanding first gives room, pausing sales protects stock before the visit, and recording income follows cl.62.
4) Creative multi‑step decision task (3 marks)
Student answer (three ordered actions):
- Assess if fishpond can be expanded
- Expand fishpond if possible
- Restock fish
Score: 2 / 3
Feedback: Good order (cl.21 then cl.65). One small missing item: mention where to record the action/income (cl.62) — the task asked to show where the action must be recorded. Add: "Record restocking and any sales in Christmas statement (cl.62)."
Final rubric (how marking was applied)
Short answers (each): 0–2 points
- 2 = Correct answer + correct clause or clear reasoning
- 1 = Partly correct or correct idea but missing clause or minor error
- 0 = Incorrect or missing
Flowchart / creative tasks: scored by these criteria
- Steps present and complete (40%)
- Logical order that follows clauses (30%)
- Clause linkages and recording (cl.62) shown (20%)
- Clarity and labelling (10%)
Next steps for the student (practical targets)
- Correct the two uncertain answers: remove or verify the claim about profits going to military supply, and match the garum/hygiene point to the correct clause.
- Redo the 5‑step flowchart in full — include sale amount, breeding stock protection, restocking, recording, and monitoring.
- When you mention a clause number, add one short phrase explaining how the clause supports your point (e.g., "cl.62 — record income at Christmas").
- Practice writing a 1–2 sentence justification for each step in a flowchart, explicitly linking it to the clause named.
If you want, I can:
- Redraft the student\'s incomplete 5‑step flowchart as a clean diagram with labels and a one‑sentence justification.
- Create a short worksheet with 6 practice questions on clauses 21, 45, 62 and 65 so you can practice clause‑to‑action matching.
