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 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. Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 3 Downloaded from hlayiso.com History/P1 3 DBE/2016 SCE – Memorandum • At the end of the paragraph indicate the ticks () that the candidate were 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 in the bottom right-hand 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.

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 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.

They need to highlight how the military tactics and strategies that the American army used against the Vietcong between 1963 and 1975 led to their inability to win the war. An analysis of how the Vietcong counteracted American military tactics and strategies should also be elaborated upon. MAIN ASPECTS Candidates should include the following aspects in their response: • Introduction: Candidates should take a line of argument by indicating whether the military tactics of the USA's army compromised their war effort against the Vietcong. ELABORATION • Reasons for the US involvement in Vietnam: stop the spread of communism/ domino theory/ policy of containment • Villagisation was a strategic hamlet programme (USA and South Vietnam government created new villages which was guarded in an attempt to separate villagers from guerrillas). It was a failure, because most villagers supported the Vietcong • Use of the Gulf of Tonkin incident led to the US Congress eventually passing the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution which gave President Johnson wide military powers to escalate the war effort in Vietnam • President Johnson instructed the mass aerial bombing 'Operation Rolling Thunder' which did not have the desired effect, e.g. How Chi Minh Trail remained active. The civilian casualties turned many Vietnamese against the USA and more Americans did not support the war - USA's military tactics proved ineffective against guerrilla warfare • 'Operation Ranch Hand' in which chemicals were used e.g. Agent Orange to destroy forests, Agent Blue to destroy crops and the devastation of Napalm effected support negatively. Chemicals affected more civilians than enemy soldiers • USA used search and destroy missions which led to the Mai Lai Massacre March 1968 and resulted in large numbers of civilian deaths. Both the Vietnamese civilians and Vietcong deplored this action and sought revenge • USA sent young and inexperienced soldiers, the average age was 19 years, against battle-hardened Vietnamese soldiers with excellent guerrilla-tactics. The US soldiers were not used to the weather, terrain and climate. Draft dodging led to a negative response from home • US troops fighting in a foreign country against a nationalist army fighting for the liberation of their own country • The role of the media, students (Kent University riots), musicians and disarmament movements pressured the US government to withdraw from Vietnam • Tet Offensive, 31 January 1968, by the Vietcong showed that the USA could not win the war as its own bases were vulnerable to attack and more than 80% of towns and villages fell into Vietcong hands Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 19 Downloaded from hlayiso.com History/P1 19 DBE/2016 SCE – Memorandum • Nixon's Vietnamisation policy failed as well as the bombardment of North Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, including WHAM (Winning hearts and minds of the Vietnamese) was an attempt by the USA to withdraw from war and 'save face' • The USA withdrew their troops by 1973 and Saigon fell in 1975 • Any other relevant response • Conclusion: Candidates should tie up their argument with a relevant conclusion.
