It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge International is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2022 series for most Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge International A and AS Level and Cambridge Pre-U components, and some Cambridge O Level components.

0410/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2022 © UCLES 2022 Page 2 of 6 Generic Marking Principles These general marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers. They should be applied alongside the specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these marking principles. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 1: Marks must be awarded in line with: the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2: Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3: Marks must be awarded positively: marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit is given for valid answers which go beyond the scope of the syllabus and mark scheme, referring to your Team Leader as appropriate marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do marks are not deducted for errors marks are not deducted for omissions answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these features are specifically assessed by the question as indicated by the mark scheme. The meaning, however, should be unambiguous. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4: Rules must be applied consistently, e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed instructions or in the application of generic level descriptors. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 5: Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question (however; the use of the full mark range may be limited according to the quality of the candidate responses seen). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 6: Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should not be awarded with grade thresholds or grade descriptors in mind.

They are born into the tradition; boys inherit their father’s craft as a profession while young women marry within their fathers’ occupational group. Female jeli do not play melodic instruments, but are highly trained singers. In the past, the jeli served a specific patron (e.g. a royal family, an important official, a wealthy merchant). They served their patron by singing praises in their honour. Since colonial times, the tradition has changed. Few families can afford their own jeli, so anyone with wealth may become patrons. Jelilu today perform at weddings, political events and naming ceremonies. They are gifted with money by the person praised. 3 – a clear understanding, explaining both the tradition and how it has changed (it is not necessary to cover all of the points in the description above) 2 – several correct points made, but perhaps not addressing both aspects equally 1 – one or two relevant points 3 18(a) Flute 1 18(b) It starts an octave lower [1] and is played by strings / violins / orchestra OR the soloist doesn’t play [1] It has smoother articulation [1] and no acciaccaturas [1] 2 19 (Descending) sequence 1 20 Entirely or almost completely correct (including missing one accidental) 3 A reasonable attempt but with too many errors for full marks 2 A few correct notes OR general shape reproduced 1 Little melodic accuracy 0 3 21 Perfect [1] fifth [1] (mark for perfect only if fifth is correct) 2
