1.2 The following levels of questions were used to assess source-based questions:

                         LEVELS OF SOURCE-BASED QUESTIONS

                            •   Extract relevant information and data from the
                                sources.
 LEVEL 1 (L1)               •   Organise information logically.
                            •   Explain historical concepts.

                            • Categorise appropriate or relevant source of
                               information provided to answer the questions raised.
                            • Analyse the information and data gathered from a
                              variety of sources.
 LEVEL 2 (L2)
                            • Evaluate the sources of information provided to
                               assess the appropriateness of the sources for the
                               task.

                            •   Interpret and evaluate information and data from the
                                sources.
                            •   Engage with sources of information evaluating the
                                usefulness of the sources for the task taking into account
                                stereotypes, subjectivity and gaps in the evidence
                                available.
                            •   Analyse historical concepts as social constructs.
                            •   Examine and explain the dynamics of changing power
 LEVEL 3 (L3)
                                relations within the aspects of societies studied.
                            •   Compare and contrast interpretations and perspectives of
                                peoples' actions or events and changes to draw
                                independent conclusions about the actions or events.
                            •   Identify when an interpretation of statistics may be
                                controversial and engage critically with the conclusions
                                presented by the data.

1.3 The following table indicates how to assess source-based questions:

   •   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.

2.   EXTENDED WRITING

2.1 The extended writing questions focus on one of the following levels:

                                 LEVELS OF QUESTIONS
 Level 1
  •    Discuss or describe according to a given line of argument set out in the
       extended writing question.
  •    Plan and construct an argument based on evidence, using the evidence to
       reach a conclusion.
 Level 2
  •    Synthesise information to construct an original argument using evidence to
       support the argument.
  •    Sustain and defend a coherent and balanced argument with evidence.
  •    Write clearly and coherently in constructing the argument.

2.2 Marking of extended 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 EXTENDED WRITING
     MARKING GUIDELINE FOR A SPECIFIC ESSAY.

 •   WHEN ASSESSING OPEN-ENDED SOURCE-BASED QUESTIONS, LEARNERS
     SHOULD BE CREDITED FOR ANY OTHER RELEVANT RESPONSES.

Global assessment of extended writing

The extended writing 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 by using of 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 extended writing marking 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 and
•     The learner's interpretation of the question

Assessment procedures of extended writing

1.    Keep the synopsis in mind when assessing extended writing.

2.    During the first reading of the extended writing 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 the marking
     guideline/memorandum) and 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                                        |
                                                                        |
                                                                        |
                                                                        |

      •             Repetition                                                R

      •             Analysis                                                  A√

      •             Interpretation                                            1√

4.        The matrix
          4.1    Use of analytical matrix in the marking of extended writing (refer to page 6)
                In the marking of extended writing 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.
                4.1.1    The first reading of extended writing will be to determine to what extent the main aspects
                         have been covered and to determine the content level (on the matrix).
                                                                     C             LEVEL 4

                 4.1.2     The second reading of extended writing will relate to the level (on the matrix) of
                           presentation.
                                                                     C             LEVEL 4

                 4.1.3     Allocate an overall mark with the use of the matrix.
                                                                     C             LEVEL 4
                                                                     P             LEVEL 5
                                                                                                 18-19
          4.2     Use of holistic rubric in the marking of extended writing (refer to page 7)
                  The given rubric which takes into account both content and presentation should be used in the
                  marking of extended writing.
                                                                    C and P         LEVEL 5       18 - 20

                          shows no or little understanding for the reasons
                          why conservative white Americans attempted to
        LEVEL 1           prevent the Civil Rights activists from                MARKS: 0–2
                          embarking on protest action
                        • Uses evidence partially to write a paragraph on the

                          understanding for the reasons
                          why conservative white Americans attempted to

        SYNOPSIS

        Candidates should discuss the role and impact of the Civil Rights Movement in
        resisting racial discrimination and segregation in the USA in the 1960s. Relevant
        examples should be used to support their answer.

        MAIN ASPECTS

        Candidates should include the following aspects in their response:

        Introduction: Candidates should indicate why the Civil Rights Movement used
        various methods to resist racial discrimination and segregation in the USA.

        ELABORATION

        The following were some of the key activities that the Civil Rights Movement used to
        ensure that the USA was free of racism:

        DESEGREGATION OF FACILITIES
        • The Students Non-violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), in Greensboro,
          started a campaign to end segregation in restaurants (Also in Nashville,
          Tennessee, sit-ins in churches, libraries)
        • 1961 the American Supreme Court ruled that segregation at bus terminals,
           restaurants and on buses was illegal
        • Congress for Racial Equality (CORE ) and SNCC embarked on the
          'Freedom rides' (United States Supreme Court ruled in 1960 that segregation
          on buses was illegal)
        • The South did not want to change. Freedom Riders deliberately rode on buses
          in the city of Birmingham, Alabama
        • 1965 most facilities were desegregated in the South (Albany, Georgia
          desegregated facilities in 1962)

        VOTER EDUCATION
        • The National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NACCP)
          undertook voter education in the South (African Americans were taught voting
          procedures and how to vote)
        • Summer of 1964 was called 'Freedom Summer' (African Americans were
          encouraged to vote. More than 430 000 blacks registered to vote in about two
          years)
        • In 1965 Martin Luther King undertook a march through Selma, Montgomery
          (Only 2, 4% of African Americans were registered voters. 'Bloody Sunday'
          forced President Johnson to sign the 'Voting Rights Bill' in 1965.)
