Today you are going to continue working on answering How-Far Questions…!
We will use page 68 in your exam preparation Booklet.

The question requires of you to give “points for” and “points against” the given statement and to ultimately give an evaluation, that concludes the answer. These are typical requirements of a How-Far-Question.

On page 68 in your Exam Preparation Booklet are some 10-mark questions. In this lesson we will look at Questions 5-7 in more detail.
