Hi Carmen, First of all, I'm not sure I understand the problem that you mention in the last part of your email. The decision to have your pupils take the Bagrut in the winter or summer is totally yours to make. If you felt your pupils were not adequately prepared you could have waited until this May to have them sit for the exam, no? As for your question as to how the exams are actually marked: well, all the answer keys from previous exams can be found on the TLC site and this winter's answer key will surely be there very soon for you to see. As a senior marker of the F Literature exam I can say, however, that a major problem is the bridging question. Pupils often regurgitate the contents of the story or poem instead of making a connection between the new information and the literary piece. Obviously I don't know if this was the case at your school.

Some of my best students also got very low marks and they really did know the material inside out. I really hope this email will appear on etni, because every email I have written so far, doesn't seem to get on the list. I also think the students had very little time to prepare for the test, it seems to me a big mistake to have given this bagrut in the winter. Thanks for the opportunity given to me to share my thoughts with you all Carmen ************************************** ** Join ETNI on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/31737970668/ ** ETNI Blog and Poll http://ask-etni.blogspot.co.il/ ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org ** post to ETNI List - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** help - ask@xxxxxxxx *************************************** ************************************** ** Join ETNI on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/31737970668/ ** ETNI Blog and Poll http://ask-etni.blogspot.co.il/ ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org ** post to ETNI List - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** help - ask@xxxxxxxx ***************************************
