SOURCE-BASED QUESTIONS 1.1 The following cognitive levels were used to develop source-based questions: WEIGHTING COGNITVE HISTORICAL SKILLS OF LEVELS QUESTIONS  Extract evidence from sources LEVEL 1  Selection and organisation of relevant 40% (L1) information from sources (20)  Define historical concepts/terms  Interpretation of evidence from sources LEVEL 2 40%  Explain information gathered from sources (L2) (20)  Analyse evidence from sources  Interpret and evaluate evidence from the sources  Engage with sources to determine their LEVEL 3 20% usefulness, reliability, bias and limitations (L3) (10)  Compare and contrast interpretations and perspectives presented in sources and draw independent conclusions 1.2 The following information indicates how the source-based questions are assessed:  In the marking of source-based questions, credit needs to be given to any valid and relevant viewpoints, arguments, evidence or examples.  In the allocation of marks, emphasis should be placed on how the requirements of the questions have been addressed.  In the marking guideline, the requirements of the questions (skills that need to be addressed) as well as the level of the questions 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) translates to two reasons which are given two marks each ( ); (1 x 2) translates to one reason and is given two marks ()  If a question carries 4 marks, then indicate by placing 4 ticks  Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 3 Downloaded from hlayiso.com (EC/NOVEMBER 2019) HISTORY 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 have an introduction, a coherent and balanced body of evidence, and a conclusion. 2.2 Marking of essays 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 answer. 2.3 Global assessment of the essay The essay must 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 learners 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 Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 4 Downloaded from hlayiso.com 4 HISTORY (EC/NOVEMBER 2019) 2.4 Assessment procedures of the essay 2.4.1 Keep the synopsis in mind when assessing essays. 2.4.2 During the first reading of the extended writing, ticks need to be awarded for a relevant introduction (indicated by a bullet in memorandum); each of the main points/aspects that is properly contextualised (also indicated by bullets in the memorandum); and a relevant conclusion (indicated by a bullet in the 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√ 2.5 The matrix 2.5.1 Use of the analytical matrix in the marking of essay. In the marking of essays, with reference to page 6, the given criteria shown in the matrix should be used. In assessing the extended writing note should be taken of 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 an essay will be to determine to what extent the main aspects have been covered and to allocate the C LEVEL 4 content level (on the matrix). (b) The second reading of essay will relate to the level (on the matrix) of presentation. C LEVEL 4 P LEVEL 3 (c) Allocate an overall mark with C LEVEL 4 the use of the matrix. 26–27 P LEVEL 3 Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 5 Downloaded from hlayiso.com (EC/NOVEMBER 2019) HISTORY 5 MARKING MATRIX FOR ESSAY – TOTAL: 50 LEVEL 7 LEVEL 6 LEVEL 5 LEVEL 4 LEVEL 3 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 1 Very well planned and Very well planned Well planned Planned and Shows some Attempts to Little or no structured essay. and structured and constructed evidence of a structure an attempt to PRESENTATION Good synthesis of essay.

MAIN ASPECTS Candidates should include the following aspects in their response Introduction: The reasons for the conflict between the Xhosa and the settlers. ELABORATION  Even before the British had taken over the Cape, there had been contact and conflict between Dutch farmers and Xhosa chiefdoms along the eastern frontier of the colony.  Both the Dutch and the Xhosa were cattle farmers and so there was competition between them for the best grazing land.  There had already been three Frontier Wars between them.  There had also been more peaceful contact in the form of trade, and missionaries set up mission stations and schools among the Xhosa.  Some Xhosa worked on settler farms as cattle herders, in return for tobacco, copper and iron.  The British government decided to put an end to the conflict over land by forcing the Xhosa to move eastwards.  In 1811–12 a large army of British, settler and Khoi soldiers attacked the Xhosa, captured their cattle and forced them to move east of the Fish River.  The British army used scorched earth tactics and burned villages and crops.  After each war, more land was taken over by the colony and the Xhosa were forced to move even further eastwards.  In 1850 the Xhosa attacked to regain their land.  They were joined by Khoi from the mission stations, as well as farm labourers, who feared losing their jobs and homes because of the growth in wool farming which did not require as much labour as other types of farming.  For a while there was panic amongst settlers who feared that the revolt would spread.  But this did not happen, and once again troops were sent to the eastern Cape to crush resistance.  Although the Xhosa had guns, they could not keep up with the endless supply of guns and soldiers which the British seemed to have.  By 1857 the Xhosa had fought eight Frontier Wars against the British.  They had lost a lot of their land, there was a bad drought that led to crops failing, and many of their cattle were dying from lung sickness.  They were a defeated nation, but they made a last desperate attempt to resist colonial control.
