Downloaded from hlayiso.com (EC/SEPTEMBER 2017) HISTORY P2 3 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.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com 4 HISTORY P2 (EC/SEPTEMBER 2017) 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√ • Interpretation I√ Copyright reserved Please turn over

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.

MAIN ASPECTS Candidates should include the following aspects in their essays: INTRODUCTION: Candidates need to indicate how the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989 contributed to the political transformation that occurred in South Africa and substantiate their line of argument ELABORATION  Economic conditions in Russia in the late 1980s  Gorbachev’s policies of Glasnost and Perestroika  Gorbachev ends the nuclear arms race with the USA  Gorbachev ends the war in Afghanistan  USSR relinquishes her dominance over Eastern Europe  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  The Battle of Cuito Cuanavale and the independence of Namibia  There was no doubt that the continued repression of black South Africans would not ensure political stability  P.W. Botha suffered a stroke and was succeeded by F.W. De Klerk  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 Use the matrix on page 6 to assess this essay.
