Grade 12 – Marking Guidelines
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
• Selection and organisation of relevant 30%
LEVEL 1
information from sources (15)
• Define historical concepts/terms
• Interpretation of evidence from sources
40%
LEVEL 2 • Explain information gathered from sources
(20)
• Analyse evidence from sources
• Interpret and evaluate evidence from sources
• Engage with sources to determine its
usefulness, reliability, bias and limitations 30%
LEVEL 3 • 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 guidelines, the requirements of the question (skills that
need to be addressed) as well as the level of the question are indicated
in italics.
• When assessing open-ended source-based questions, learners
should be credited for any other relevant answers.
• Learners are expected to take a stance when answering ‘to what
extent’ questions in order for any marks to be awarded.
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.
Copyright reserved Please turn over
History/P1 3 NW/June 2024
Grade 12 – Marking Guidelines
• 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.
2.3 Global assessment of the essay
The essay will be assessed holistically (globally). This approach requires the
teacher to assess the essay as a whole, rather than assessing the main
points of the essay separately. This approach encourages the learner to write
an original argument by using relevant evidence to support the line of
argument. The learner will not be required to simply regurgitate content
(facts) in order to achieve a level
7 (high mark). This approach discourages learners from preparing essays and
reproducing them without taking the specific requirements of the question into
account. Holistic marking of the essay credits learners' opinions that are
supported by evidence. Holistic assessment, unlike content-based marking,
does not penalise language inadequacies as the emphasis is on the following:
• The learner's interpretation of the question
• The appropriate selection of factual evidence (relevant content selection)
• The construction of an argument (planned, structured and has an
independent line of argument)

History/P1 4 NW/June 2024
Grade 12 – Marking Guidelines
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 (which is indicated by a bullet in the marking
guideline), the main aspects/body of the essay that
sustains/defends the line of argument (which is indicated by
bullets in the marking guideline) and a relevant conclusion (which
is indicated by a bullet in the marking guideline).
For example in an essay where there are five (5) main points
there could be about seven (7) ticks.
2.4.3 Keep the PEEL structure in mind in assessing an essay.
P Point: The candidate introduces the essay by taking a line of
argument/making a major point.
Each paragraph should include a point that sustains the major point
(line of argument) that was made in the introduction.
E Explanation: The candidate should explain in more detail what the
main point is about and how it relates to the question posed (line of
argument).
E Example: Candidates should answer the question by selecting
content that is relevant to the line of argument. Relevant examples
should be given to sustain the line of argument.
L Link: Candidates should ensure that the line of argument is
sustained throughout and is written coherently.
2.4.4 The following symbols MUST be used when assessing an essay:
• Introduction, main aspects and conclusion not properly contextualised
^
• Wrong statement
• Irrelevant statement |
|
|
• Repetition R
• Analysis A√
• Interpretation I√
• Line of Argument LOA

2.5 The matrix
2.5.1 Using 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 the essay 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 the essay 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.

SECTION B: ESSAY QUESTIONS
QUESTION 3: CASE STUDY –THE CONGO
[Plan and construct an original argument based on relevant evidence using analytical
and interpretative skills]
SYNOPSIS
Candidates need to explain to what extent was Mobuto Sese Seko
successful in implementing political, economic, social and cultural policies
after attaining independence from Belgium in 1960. They should support
their line of argument with relevant historical evidence.
MAIN ASPECTS
Candidates should include the following aspects in their response:
• Introduction: Candidates need to take a stance by explaining to what extent
was Mobuto Sese Seko successful in implementing political, economic,
social and cultural policies after attaining independence from Belgium in
1960. They need to demonstrate how they intend answering the question.
ELABORATION
Political policies
• Colonial legacies: (as background information)
➢ Paternalism – Congolese were treated as children - with no responsibility in
administration or representation of the government
➢ Political parties were banned and with quick Belgian withdrawal – due to the
1959 Leopoldville riots – many political parties (representing different
regions and ethnicities) were formed
➢ 120 political parties participated in the 1960 elections; no single political
party won outright majority – Patrice Lumumba’s Movement National
Congolese (MNC) won most of the seats because unlike regional parties, it
had some level of nation-wide support
➢ Lack of political unity
• Congo became independent on 30 June 1960 with Joseph Kasavubu as President
and Patrice Lumumba as Prime Minister. Joseph Kasavubu preferred that Congo
be a federal state while Patrice Lumumba was for a strong centralized national
government/Lumumba also in conflict with Moise Tshombe
• Congo started with a lot of political instability – with Tshombe focusing on
succession of Katanga for its own independence
• Joseph Mobutu seized power from Kasavubu through a coup d’état in 1965
• He managed to bring some form of political stability (based on authoritarianism)
• In 1967 Mobutu managed to stop the Katanga rebellion and gave his country a
new constitution as a one party-state under his party, the Popular Movement for
the Revolution (MPR)
• Congo became a one-party state within the first five years after gaining
independence with all opposition suppressed
• Mobutu developed a personality cult (Mobutuism)
• Mobutuism made Congo an autocratic state under himself as military dictator
• Was supported by USA because he was seen as anti-communist ally
