Edexcel A Level Paper 1: Exam answers' structures and connectives

This is a resource that I have prepared for my A Level students after this year marking season. The resource contains structures for explain (3, 6 and 8 marker), assess and evaluate questions including connectives that should be used. When I was marking this year (2022) A level Geography paper 1 for Edexcel, it was very clear that students ‘assess’ or ‘evaluate’ across the board instead of ‘explain’ losing marks with reasonably easy questions. As much as ‘assess’ and ‘evaluate’ answers do not differ hugely in structure and students still can score a decent mark, with ‘explain’ is a different story, when they start evaluating or assessing instead of explaining, students wasting their time together with their marks.
Hope you find it useful.
