| 90% | Extract-based comprehension (RTC) from either story — Identify which story the extract is from FIRST. Answer in the text's own words, then add one inference line about fear/hunger (Story 1) or the mystery (Story 2). Watch for a vocabulary MCQ. | 4 MARKS |
| 65% | How did the seagull overcome his fear / role of hunger — Family pressure → mother dangles fish → HUNGER triggers the dive → wings open → triumph. Stress hunger, NOT bravery; the mother tempted, did not push. | 5 MARKS |
| 70% | Describe the strange experience / who was the black-aeroplane pilot — Storm → instruments fail → black plane guides → safe landing → no plane on radar. End with a JUSTIFIED personal opinion (reflection / guardian / mystery). | 6 MARKS |
| 50% | How did the family help him fly + life-lesson — Name the value (tough-love / courage), prove with the mother's fish tactic, add a personal lesson about facing fear through action. | 5 MARKS |
| 55% | Central idea / humour of the paired poem — Wild Animals = comic 'guide' by how each animal harms you. Ball Poem = lost ball symbolises learning about loss & growing up. Always name the device (humour / symbolism). | 3 MARKS |
