STANZA NCEA EXAMS LEVEL 3 2009 Passage two: Franco’s era in Spain Glossary: censura = censorship detener = to arrest pecado = sin Desde el final de la Guerra Civil de España en 1939 hasta su muerte en 1975, el régimen de General Francisco Franco duró más o menos 35 años y dejó una marca muy profunda en el país. Fue una época muy conservadora y religiosa, conocida por el nacionalismo, tradicionalismo y catolicismo. Después de la guerra el pueblo estuvo controlado por el miedo y el hambre. Las familias de los que habían estado con la República se tuvieron que esconder durante años en sus casas. Mucha gente tomó su propia vida y se impusieron leyes prohibitivas. La censura oficial tuvo un gran efecto en la vida, tanto la pública como la privada. Observaban cómo se comportaban las parejas en los lugares públicos, en los espectáculos, en el cine y en las playas, siempre dispuesta a detener a la gente por haber hecho algo considerado inmoral. En las escuelas se producían a los niños educados por el castigo corporal, y no cometer pecados era una preocupación constante. Con el tiempo nació la resistencia de los españoles al régimen y a su política de prohibición. El pueblo español no se contentó con la política del Estado sino que inventó sus propios métodos para sacar lo mejor de la situación. Sin embargo, los años siguientes a la muerte de Franco, durante el desarrollo a la democracia, fueron años de silencio. Muchos españoles todavía no han llegado a aceptar las experiencias vividas durante estos años. En muchos pueblos donde los vecinos se mataron unos a otros, no se habla con facilidad sobre la guerra ni sobre los años siguientes. Para el 2010 ya habrán pasado treinta y cinco años de silencio desde el fin de la época de Franco en España. Ahora una nueva generación, los nietos de la guerra civil, quiere discutir lo que pasó para entender mejor su historia. STANZA NCEA EXAMS LEVEL 3 2009 ASSESSMENT Notes for assessors: In keeping with the new format for NCEA examinations for Level One from 2009 please take note of the following explanations: Achievement column contains achievement level responses only. Merit column contains the achievement level responses and underlined merit level responses The Excellence column contains the achievement level responses, underlined merit level responses and excel l ence respons es in bold. In order to arrive at a final grade, assessors are to first make a judgement for each question at N, A, M, or E level using the shaded Judgement row. Then make a judgement for the standard as a whole using the Overall Judging Statement at the end of the schedule. Both the shaded Judgement row following each question and the Overall Judging Statement are provided as a guide. These may be altered, along with the individual dot points, by the assessors to ensure that learners are awarded the appropriate grade, as indicated by the level of their responses when measured against the requirements of the standard. Higher level judgements are to be based at all times on qualitative grounds that reflect the learner’s recognition of detail, higher level structures, and ability to infer meaning. Typically, Achievement level responses will give relevant information; Merit level responses will contain more specific details; Excellence level responses will show in depth understanding/the ability to infer meaning. Thus, the learner’s ability to extract meaning and interpret information from the text(s) will determine the grade awarded.
