Dear David,
As far as I know from previous years, presenting both sides of an argument is 
perfectly legit. as long as the pupil states his/her opinion / or inability to 
decide (E.g."Having presented both sides of this question, I am undecided as to 
which..... is preferable.")
If no opinion whatsoever is stated explicitly or implicitly, then the pupil may 
lose 4+ points from the content category. 
Hope this helps.
 
Judith Astary

Subject: [etni] A question for Bagrut markers


The genre of the composition this year in module G will be an opinion
essay. If a pupil writes the composition in the format of a "for and
against" essay, is he/she penalised for this?
I have a pupil who did this in his 'matkonet" and I don't know what to do.
In my opinion, he has answered the question as he has stated his opinion,
but he gave equal weight to the opposing view.

Thanks
David Graniewitz
