1. SOURCE-BASED QUESTIONS
1.1 The following cognitive levels were used to develop source-based
questions:

HISTORICAL SKILLS

Extract evidence from sources.
Selection and organisation of relevant 30%
LEVEL 1
information from sources. (15)
Define historical concepts/terms.

LEVEL 2 Explain information gathered from the
(20)
sources.
Analyse evidence from the sources.
Interpret and evaluate evidence from

Engage with sources to determine its
usefulness, reliability, bias and 30%
LEVEL 3
limitations. (15)
Compare and contrast interpretations
and perspectives presented in sources
and draw independent conclusions.
1.2 The information below indicates how source-based questions are
assessed:
In the marking of source-based questions credit needs to be given to
any other valid and relevant viewpoints, arguments, evidence or
examples.
In the allocation of marks emphasis should be placed on how the
requirements of the question have been addressed.
In the marking guideline the requirements of the question (skills that
need to be addressed) as well as the level of the question are
indicated in italics.
1.3 Assessment procedures for source-based questions
Use a tick () for each correct answer
Pay attention to the mark scheme e.g. (2 × 2) which translates to two
reasons and is given two marks each ( ); (1 × 2) which
translates to one reason and is given two marks ()
If a question carries 4 marks then indicate by placing 4 ticks ()

Paragraph question
Paragraphs are to be assessed globally (holistically). Both the content
and structure of the paragraph must be taken into account when awarding
a mark. The following steps must be used when assessing a response to
a paragraph question:
Read the paragraph and place a bullet ( . ) at each point within the text
where the candidate has used relevant evidence to address the
question.
Re-read the paragraph to evaluate the extent to which the candidate
has been able to use relevant evidence to write a paragraph.
At the end of the paragraph indicate the ticks (√) that the candidate
has been awarded for the paragraph; as well as the level (1, 2 or 3) as
indicated in the holistic rubric and a brief comment e.g.
___________ ˖ __________________________ ˖ _________________
_________________ ˖ __________________________ ˖ ___________
√√√√
Level 2
Used mostly relevant evidence to write a basic paragraph
Count all the ticks for the source-based question and then write the mark on
the right-hand bottom margin e.g.
32
50
Ensure that the total mark is transferred accurately to the front/back
cover of the answer script.
2. ESSAY QUESTIONS
2.1 The essay questions require candidates to:
Be able to structure their argument in a logical and coherent manner.
They need to select, organise and connect the relevant information so
that they are able to present a reasonable sequence of facts or an
effective argument to answer the question posed. It is essential that an
essay has an introduction, a coherent and balanced body of evidence
and a conclusion.
2.2 Marking of essay writing
Markers must be aware that the content of the answer will be guided
by the textbooks in use at the particular centre.
Candidates may have any other relevant introduction and/or
conclusion than those included in a specific essay marking guideline
for a specific essay.
When assessing open-ended source-based questions, learners should
be credited for any other relevant answers.

2.3 Global assessment of the essay
The essay will be assessed holistically (globally). This approach requires
the teacher to score the overall product as a whole, without scoring the
component parts separately. This approach encourages the learner to
offer an individual opinion by using selected factual evidence to support
an argument. The learner will not be required to simply regurgitate ‘facts’
in order to achieve a high mark. This approach discourages learners from
preparing ‘model’ answers and reproducing them without taking into
account the specific requirements of the question. Holistic marking of the
essay credits learners’ opinions supported by evidence. Holistic
assessment, unlike content-based marking, does not penalise language
inadequacies as the emphasis is on the following:
The construction of argument
The appropriate selection of factual evidence to support such
argument
The learner’s interpretation of the question
2.4 Assessment procedures of the essay
2.4.1 Keep the synopsis in mind when assessing the essay.
2.4.2 During the reading of the essay ticks need to be awarded for a
relevant introduction (indicated by a bullet in the marking
guideline/memorandum), each of the main points/aspects that is
properly contextualised (also indicated by bullets in the marking
guideline/memorandum) and a relevant conclusion (indicated by a
bullet in the marking guideline/memorandum) e.g. in an answer
where there are 5 main points there will be 7 ticks.
2.4.3 The following additional symbols can also be used:
• Introduction, main aspects and conclusion not properly
contextualised
^
• Wrong statement _________________
• Irrelevant statement |

• Repetition R
• Analysis A√

2. The matrix
2.5.1 Use of the matrix in the marking of essays.
In the marking of essays, the criteria as provided in the matrix should
be used. When assessing the essay note both the content and
presentation. At the point of intersection of the content and
presentation based on the seven competency levels, a mark should be
awarded.
(a) The first reading of essays will be to determine to what extent the
main aspects have been covered and to allocate the content
level (on the matrix).
C LEVEL 4
(b) The second reading of essays will relate to the level (on the
matrix) of presentation.
C LEVEL 4
P LEVEL 5
(c) Allocate an overall mark with the use of the matrix.

Gorbachev’s policies of Glasnost and Perestroika
Gorbachev ends the nuclear arms race with the USA

The fall of the Berlin Wall
Changes in the world contributed to the end of apartheid
The collapse of the USSR deprived the ANC of its main source of support
The ANC could not depend on the USSR to support it economically or with weapons
anymore
Gorbachev was also in favour of a peaceful transition of power in South Africa
The National Party’s claim that it was acting as a ‘bulwark’ against communist
expansion in southern Africa became unrealistic
The National Party’s claim that it was protecting South Africa from a communist take-
over was naïve
Western world powers supported the move that South Africa resolved its problems
peacefully and democratically
It became clear that the National Party could no longer maintain white supremacy rule
in South Africa anymore
Influential National Party members started to realise that apartheid was not the
answer to the needs of white capitalist development

There was no doubt that the continued repression of black South Africans would not
ensure political stability

F.W. De Klerk started to accept that the black South Africans struggle against
apartheid was not a conspiracy directed from Moscow
This enabled De Klerk to engage in discussions with the liberation organisations
On 2 February 1990 De Klerk announced ‘a new and just constitutional dispensation’
This signalled the end of apartheid rule
Any other relevant answer
CONCLUSION: Candidates should tie up their argument with a relevant conclusion
