Global assessment of essays

The essays will be assessed holistically (globally). This approach requires the educator to
score the overall product as a whole, without scoring the component parts separately.
This approach encourages the learner to offer an individual opinion through 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. It will also discourage learners to
prepare 'model’ answers and reproduce them without taking into account the specific
requirements of the question. Holistic essay marking credits learners’ opinions. Holistic
assessment, unlike content based marking, does not penalise language inadequacies as
the emphasis is on the following:

. the construction of an argument;
° the appropriate selection of factual evidence to support such an argument; and
° the learner's interpretation of the question.

Assessment procedures of an essay

1. Keep the synopsis in mind when assessing the essay.

2. During the first reading of the essay ticks need to be awarded for a relevant
introduction (indicated by a bullet in marking guideline/ memorandum) each of the
main points/aspects that is properly contextualised (also indicated by bullets in
marking guideline/ memorandum) a relevant conclusion (indicated by a bullet in

marking guideline/ memorandum) e.g. in an answer where there are 5 main points
there will be 7 ticks.

3. The following additional symbols can also be used:
. introduction, main aspects and conclusion not properly contextualised

/\

. wrong statement

° irrelevant statement

The matrix

and the matrix will be used to allocate a symbol to an essay. Both the content and
presentation axes are divided into eight competency levels. Each has criteria that will be
used to assess an essay.

SYNOPSIS

The candidates can agree or disagree with the statement. Most candidates would most
probably agree with the statement. They need to show how Hertzog used events during
his term of office to move South Africa towards sovereign independence by 1934. Some
learners may point out that Hertzog, in achieving his aim, used opportunities presented to
him within the international environment.

NB: The main aspects (bullets) must be used to address the requirements of the question
and to develop a refevant line of argument. A mere stating of ‘facts’ is inadequate.

MAIN ASPECTS

« Introduction: Candidates must indicate their viewpoint. This should be about whether
South Africa's sovereign independence was recognised by 1934.

ELABORATION

¢ Position of dominions in 1924 when Hertzog assumed office (legally they were
subordinate to Britain and Hertzog was determined to change this situation)

e Hertzog used the Imperial Conference of 1926 to clarify the status of SA and
dominions

« The Balfour Declaration of 1926 (defined and uplifted the status of SA and other
dominions: Hertzog played a major role in this regard)

e The establishment of the Department of Foreign Affairs gave SA the opportunity to
demonstrate its independence (Hertzog's involvement in the establishment was
evident)

e The Statute of Westminster, 1931 was a British law that put the principles of the
Balfour Declaration into law (Hertzog was instrumental in pressurising the British
government to turn the Balfour declaration into law)

e The Status and Seals Acts, 1934 (Under the leadership of Hertzog these two South
African laws were passed to protect SA's independence as defined by the
Statute of Westminster)

e Any other relevant point.

e Conclusion: Candidates should tie up their argument by indicating whether SA's
sovereign independence was recognised by 1934.
