Year 8 Assessment Task Shape is 50 marks in 75 minutes. Questions on My Town and Transport are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones Japanese Year 8 uses.
Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.
My Town and Transport is module 3 of 3 in Japanese Year 8. Students routinely lose marks because a question spans two modules, so the neighbouring modules are worth reading next to this one.
Dux diagnoses Japanese Year 8 dot point by dot point, then writes questions in the shape this course marks. Written answers come back marked against the bands.
