This document contains two example responses to an AQA Paper 2 Section B writing question for the 1-9 spec. These responses have been written in the style of a 'student' and contain minor SPAG errors so they can grade both essays based on technical accuracy. There is a space under each response for students to level and grade the answers with feedback. They will need a copy of the marking criteria to do so, which is easily available on the AQA website.
