Each of the case study questions also has 3 marks available for spelling, Punctuation & Grammar (New for 2013) After my work I need to check SPaG Spelling! Have I spelt key words like place names, famous people’s names correctly? Have I correctly used homophones, e,g, their/there or to/too/two? Hopefully I haven’t used text speak, e.g. lol! If I have spelt a word wrong once I need to check to see I haven’t made the same mistake again. Punctuation! Have I used a full stop or other appropriate punctuation mark at the end of every sentence? Are there capital letters at the beginning of each sentence and for names? Have I used speech marks correctly? Check if I have used exclamation marks (!) unnecessarily and Grammar! Does my essay sound correct when I read it? Does my writing sound too casual? Have I started a sentence with ‘and’?
