INFORMATION

...
He joined an exhibition and people would pay to be able to come and look at him
...

I first saw the light on the 5th of August 1860
...
I went to
school like other children until I was about 11 or 12 years of age, when the greatest
misfortune of my life occurred, namely – the death of my mother
...

After she died my father broke up his home and went to lodgings
...
Henceforth, I never had one moment’s comfort
...
Lame and deformed as I was, I ran, or
rather walked away, from home two or three times
...

When I was about 13 years old, I was sent about the town to see if I could procure work, but,
being lame and deformed, no one would employ me
...
I was taunted and sneered at so that
I would not go home for my meals and used to stay in the streets with a hungry belly rather
than return for anything to eat
...
” The best friend I had in those days was my
father’s brother, Mr

Being unable to get employment, my father got me a license to hawk around the town, but,
being deformed, people would not come to the door to buy my wares

So, thought I, I’ll get my living by being exhibited about the country

Sam Torr of
Gladstone Vaults, Leicester, went in for Novelties, I wrote to him

Ellis, The Bee‑hive Inn, Nottingham, from 25 whom
I received the greatest kindness and attention

In fact, I may say, I am as comfortable now as I was uncomfortable
before

Mark Scheme for June 2024

Oxford Cambridge and RSA Examinations

OCR (Oxford Cambridge and RSA) is a leading UK awarding body, providing a wide range of
qualifications to meet the needs of candidates of all ages and abilities
...


It is also responsible for developing new specifications to meet national requirements and
the needs of students and teachers
...

This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements
of the examination
...
It does not
indicate the details of the discussions which took place at an examiners’ meeting before
marking commenced
...

Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the published question papers and the
report on the examination
...


Make sure that you have accessed and completed the relevant training packages for on-screen marking: RM assessor Online Training;
OCR Essential Guide to Marking
...


Make sure that you have read and understood the mark scheme and the question paper for this unit
...
rm
...


Mark strictly to the mark scheme
...


Marks awarded must relate directly to the marking criteria
...


The schedule of dates is very important
...
If you experience problems, you must contact your Team Leader (Supervisor) without delay
...


If you are in any doubt about applying the mark scheme, consult your Team Leader by telephone, email or via the RM messaging system
...


Crossed Out Responses
Where a candidate has crossed out a response and provided a clear alternative then the crossed out response is not marked
...


Rubric Error Responses – Optional Questions
Where candidates have a choice of question across a whole paper or a whole section and have provided more answers than required, then all
responses are marked and the highest mark allowable within the rubric is given
...
(The underlying assumption is that the candidate has penalised themselves by attempting more
questions than necessary in the time allowed
...

J351/01

Mark Scheme

June 2024

Short Answer Questions (requiring only a list by way of a response, usually worth only one mark per response)
Where candidates are required to provide a set number of short answer responses then only the set number of responses should be marked
...

The remaining responses should not then be marked
...
(The underlying assumption is that the candidate is attempting to
hedge their bets and therefore getting undue benefit rather than engaging with the question and giving the most relevant/correct responses
...
)
Longer Answer Questions (requiring a developed response)
Where candidates have provided two (or more) responses to a medium or high tariff question which only required a single (developed) response
and not crossed out the first response, then only the first response should be marked
...


6
...
If the candidate has continued an answer there then add a tick to confirm that the work has been seen
...


Award No Response (NR) if:


there is nothing written in the answer space
...


Team Leaders must confirm the correct use of the NR button with their markers before live marking commences and should check this
when reviewing scripts
8
...
Please refer to these
comments when checking your practice responses
...

If you have any questions or comments for your Team Leader, use the telephone, email or the RM messaging system
...


Mark Scheme

June 2024

Assistant Examiners will send a brief report on the performance of candidates to their Team Leader (Supervisor) via email by the end
of the marking period
...

Constructive criticism of the question paper/mark scheme is also appreciated
...
For answers marked by levels of response:

of marks available)
Above middle and either below top of level or at middle of level (depending on
number of marks available)
At top of level
