1. SOURCE-BASED QUESTIONS
1.1 The following cognitive levels were used to develop source-based questions:
Cognitive Weighting of
Historical skills
Levels questions
Extract evidence from sources
LEVEL 1 Selection and organisation of relevant
30%
information from sources (15)
Define historical concepts/terms
Interpretation of evidence from sources
LEVEL 2 40%
Explain information gathered from sources
(20)
Analyse evidence from sources
Interpret and evaluate evidence from sources
Engage with sources to determine its
LEVEL 3 usefulness, reliability, bias and limitations 30%
Compare and contrast interpretations and (15)
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 x 2) which translates to two reasons
and is given two marks each ( ); (1 x 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 questions
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 contextualized (also
indicated by bullets in the marking guideline/memorandum) and a relevant

History/P1 Gr11 Memorandum NW/June 2017
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 1√
2.5 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 3
(c) Allocate an overall mark with the use of the matrix.
