In terms of the 6 marker which asks Analyse one way in which a stakeholder of Krispy Kreme may be affected by the opening of a new store, I wanted to make my case for why I believe my marks should be reconsidered. The question itself is an ambiguous question which doesnt make clear exactly what the question is asking of you. It is fully open to interpretation and although you mentioned that most people in this class understood it as being the opening of a new Krispy Kreme store, I have asked a multitude of other people in order to try to understand what other people thought and I received both responses as understanding it as referring to the Krispy Kreme store but also as to referring to a new store - even in the context of the case. During my enquiries into how people understood the question, I also came across another student who took part in the mock and understood the question this way.The question could be asking about the opening of the Krispy Kreme store, but could equally be referring to the opening of any other store since it says a new store, instead of the new store. In fact I believe that it is very reasonable to believe that the case study isnt referring to the opening of the Krispy Kreme store since the case study talks about the opening of the Krispy Kreme store in the past whilst the question talks about the opening of a new store, demonstrating to the pupil that it isnt in fact the Krispy Kreme store. I know that an argument against this is that it is a past paper question so wouldve been in an actual GCSE, however it was in fact part of the 2016 Specimen paper meaning that it was not part of an actual exam. In fact the first exam to my knowledge was in June 2019 (teaching having started from September 2017) - due to this there would have been no further examples of what good questions should be since only For new specifications where there are no past papers, we provide specimen papers and mark schemes.
is that a question?
