Question Structure -- URGENT! (1 Viewer)

[funnal]

Hiya,

We have been taught to answer questions under heading and dot points, although I am sceptical of this for higher marked questions ranging 8-12 marks. Is this an appropriate way to answer the question? Or must it be "paragraph" form.
thanks!

We have been taught at my school for 8 and 12 markers to structure the answer based on the dotpoint, for example:
Q. Analyse the various Rehabilitation Procedures. 12 marks

My answer would include a paragraph (6-8 lines) of an introduction on rehabilitation and why it is needed, and also how its done.
Then since the Rehabilitation Procedures dotpoint has 4 sub (minor) dotpoints with in it, each would be its on paragraph.

Therefore my 12 mark layout is.

INTRO

- Progressive Mobilisation
all about progressive mobilisation in its own paragraph

- Graduated Exercise (Stretching, Conditioning, Total Body Fitness)
all about progressive mobilisation in its own paragraph

- Training
all about progressive mobilisation in its own paragraph

- Use of Heat and Cold
all about progressive mobilisation in its own paragraph

CONCLUSION

Doing so, for every 12 marker you should be aiming for minimum 3 and 1/2 booklet pages, so make sure you do a decent intro and conclusion to tie in all your points, to summarise what you have said and to answer the question as evidently as possible.

Are you literarily going to write the syllabus terms you put in bold?

eg would your structure be;

INTRO

- Progressive Mobilisation
all about progressive mobilisation in its own paragraph

- Graduated Exercise (Stretching, Conditioning, Total Body Fitness)
all about progressive mobilisation in its own paragraph

- Training
all about progressive mobilisation in its own paragraph

- Use of Heat and Cold
all about progressive mobilisation in its own paragraph

CONCLUSION

or;

INTRO

progressive mobilisation in its own paragraph

training in its own paragraph

gradual rehabilitation in its own paragraph

hot and cold all in its own paragraph

CONCLUSION
