1. SOURCE-BASED QUESTIONS
1.1 The following cognitive levels were used to develop source-based
questions:

HISTORICAL SKILLS
LEVELS QUESTIONS
Extract evidence from sources.
Selection and organisation of relevant 30%

30%
LEVEL 3 usefulness, reliability, bias and limitations.
(15)
Compare and contrast interpretations and
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.
When assessing open-ended source-based questions, learners should
be credited for any 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.
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
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.
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 (indicated by a bullet in the 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 the marking guideline/memorandum) e.g. in an answer where
there are 5 main points there will be 7 ticks.
2.4.3 Keep the PEEL structure in mind when assessing an essay.
Point: The candidate introduces the essay by taking a line of
P
argument/making a major point.
Explanation: The candidate should explain in more detail what
E the main point is all about and how it relates to the question
posed (line of argument).
Example: The candidates should answer the question by
selecting content that is relevant to the line of argument.
E
Relevant examples should be given to sustain the line of
argument.
Link: Candidates should ensure that the line of argument is
L
sustained throughout the essay and is written coherently.

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 essays will be to determine to what extent the
main aspects have been covered and to allocate the content level
(on the matrix).

SECTION B: ESSAY QUESTIONS
QUESTION 4: CASE STUDY – CHINA
[Plan and construct an original argument based on relevant evidence using
analytical and interpretative skills.]
SYNOPSIS
Candidates need to ascertain to what extent Mao Zedong’s policies of the Great
Leap Forward Movement (1958–1961) and the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976)
were successful in strengthening communism and transforming China into a
superpower.
MAIN ASPECTS
Candidates should include the following aspects in their essays:
Introduction: Candidates should critically discuss Mao Zedong’s reasons for
implementing the Great Leap Forward in relation to his aim of transforming China
into a powerful communist state.
ELABORATION
The purpose of Great Leap Forward was to produce more crops very quickly to
overtake the capitalist countries in a short period of time.
Mao insisted that Industrialisation should take place on the farms and not in the
urban areas.
For this purpose, he collectivised the peasant's cooperative farms to form large
communes.
The private ownership of land and property was removed and the commune had
to provide the families with everything they needed.
Many peasants became involved in agriculture, whilst others were involved in
the manufacturing of steel in backyard furnaces.
By 1958 nearly all the Chinese belonged to one of the forty thousand
communes.
The quality of the steel was very weak and could not be used.
Furthermore, many peasants were reluctant to produce because they lost their
farms.
Those who spoke out against Mao were arrested and millions were sent to
prison.
Accordingly, the production of coal and the output of industries declined.
In 1960 Mao had an argument with Khrushchev – Russia withdraw their experts
from China resulting in the collapse of China’s Russian controlled projects.
In the same year China suffered one of the worst droughts leading to a drop in
agricultural production.
This has led to a widespread famine in which 30 million Chinese died.
Mao was forced to resign as president of China.

18 HISTORY P1 (EC/JUNE 2019)
After the failure of the Great Leap Forward, Mao resigned as president of China
but stayed on as Chairman of the Communist Party
The moderates that took over introduced capitalist reforms.
Mao was opposed to this and called on the Chinese public to get rid of all whom
he deemed anti-revolutionary
Mao's call was answered by the students who organised themselves as the Red
Guards
In 1966 Mao launched the ‘Cultural Revolution’, which was Mao’s strategy to
take control of the country
Mao used the Cultural Revolution to eliminate his opposition and to regain
control
The Red Guards were requested to destroy the ‘Four Olds’: Old Ideas, Old
Customs, Old Culture, Old Habits – even with violence if necessary
Gangs of young Red Guards, dressed in uniform, roamed in towns with their
little red books.
The first targets were Buddhist temples, churches and mosques, which were
destroyed to the ground
The Red Guards began to prosecute people who were regarded as anti-
revolutionary
Schools and universities were closed and churches, temples, libraries, shops
and private houses were rifled or destroyed as the attack on the ‘feudal’
traditions began
Party officials, teachers and intellectuals were publicly humiliated, beaten and in
some cases killed or driven to suicide
The chaos spread quickly and China was immersed in a state of civil war.
Almost a million people were killed
By 1968 Mao realised that his revolution was out of control. In an effort to stop
the violence, he enlisted the army to restore law and order. Millions of urban
young people were sent to the countryside for ‘re-education’
The Cultural Revolution officially ended in 1976
The Cultural Revolution had a negative impact on China. The economy was in a
crisis – agriculture yield decreased
Historical buildings, especially churches and monasteries, were burned.
For the entire decade of the Cultural Revolution, there was no teaching in
schools, and this led to an entire generation who had not received a formal
education
The Chinese population lost confidence in the Communist Party
Conclusion: Tie up argument with a relevant conclusion. [50]

QUESTION 5: INDEPENDENCE IN AFRICA IN THE 1960’s AND 1970’s:
COMPARATIVE STUDY ON THE CONGO AND TANZANIA
[Plan and construct an original argument based on relevant evidence using
analytical and interpretative skills.]
SYNOPSIS
Candidates are expected to evaluate whether Mobutu Sese Seko (Congo) and
Julius Nyerere (Tanzania) were successful in their aims of attaining economic
independence and self-reliance by comparing their social, economic and political
developments.
MAIN ASPECTS
Candidates should include the following aspects in their response:
Introduction: Candidates should state whether the leaders were successful in
their ideals and critically analyse the reasons for their success or failures.
ELABORATION
Political transformation of the Congo and Tanzania
Similarities:
Both the Congo and Tanzania were under European colonial rule until the early
1960s
After holding multi-party elections at independence, both countries became one-
party states within the first five years after gaining independence
Both countries continued to hold elections
Both leaders emphasised the importance of Africanisation of their political systems
(they regarded democracy as ‘un-African’ and a western imposition)
The leaders of both countries (Mobutu Sese Seko and Julius Nyerere) remained
‘president for life’ between the 1960s and 1970s
In both countries opposition leaders were silenced, imprisoned and in some cases
killed
Both Mobutu Sese Seko and Julius Nyerere took pride in building their nations and
vigorously promoted the pride of being Zairian or Tanzanian
Differences:
Mobutu Sese Seko created a kleptocracy, a group of appointed public officials who
abused their position for financial gain whereas Julius Nyerere introduced the
'Leadership Code' in the Arusha Declaration which demanded high levels of
integrity from public officials
Mobutu Seso Seko was extravagant and enjoyed expensive clothes and built
extravagant palaces for himself while Julius Nyerere's leadership style was one of
personal integrity and humility
Mobutu Sese Seko aligned himself with the West while Julius Nyerere adopted a
policy of non-alignment with either capitalist or communist countries.

20 HISTORY P1 (EC/JUNE 2019)
Economic transformation of the Congo and Tanzania
Similarities:
Both countries relied heavily on agriculture and mineral extraction and neither country
was able to develop a credible manufacturing sector
Neither country saw a significant increase in the standard of living for the majority of its
people
Both countries experienced economic crises and therefore had to rely on foreign
aid/assistance
Differences:
Mobutu Sese Seko initially nationalised industry with his policy of Zairianisation but when
this failed he adopted a capitalist model; Julius Nyerere adopted an African socialist
model (as outlined in the Arusha Declaration) which led to the nationalisation of
businesses and land
Mobutu accepted aid, investment and financial support from the West (especially USA
and France); Nyerere was initially opposed to acceptance of foreign aid (saw it as neo-
colonialism)
Mobutu created a new class of elite supporters; Nyerere attempted to rid Tanzania of
class divisions
Any other relevant answer
SOCIAL AND CULTURAL
Education and language
Colonial education promoted Eurocentric values
Under colonialism few African children received more than a primary education
The Congo and Tanzania had a few qualified technicians and engineers
Children were taught European history and languages and western knowledge was
favoured over African knowledge
Education in Tanzania
Nyerere promoted the use of Swahili (a common language spoken by most
Tanzanians) over English
Between 1961 and 1981 illiteracy in Tanzania dropped from 80% to 20%. As few
resources were given to tertiary education, primary school enrolments increased
Structural adjustment in the 1980s resulted in drastic cuts made in social spending
resulting in a lack of textbooks, desks and teachers.
Nyerere (Tanzania) wrote a pamphlet, ‘Education for self-reliance’ (1967). He
expanded primary education in rural areas and focused on basic literacy
Education in the Congo
At independence in the Congo there were 14 university graduates and therefore after
independence, the higher education system was expanded
From 1960–1974 primary education in the Congo rose from 1,6 million to 4,6 million
French remained the language of instruction in the Congo

Africanisation
In Tanzania: ‘Villagisation’ – Nyerere, promoted ‘traditional’ community values
through Ujamaa (‘familyhood’) villages
Tanzanians were encouraged to focus on agriculture, traditional values and
becoming self-reliant
Tanzanians worked the land communally rather than producing cash crops for
export
In the Congo: Zairianisation: Mobuto promoted African beliefs and culture through
his policy of authenticité
Mobuto encouraged people to wear African clothing, play and listen to African
music and eat African food
Mobuto renamed many towns and cities in the Congo with African names (e.g.
Leopoldville became Kinshasa
CLOTHING
Mobutu and Nyerere adopted Kwame Nkrumah and Maoist style of dressing.
ART
Promotion of African art in literature as well as in handcraft

QUESTION 6: CIVIL SOCIETY PROTESTS FROM THE 1950s TO THE 1970s:
CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT
[Plan and construct an original argument based on relevant evidence using analytical
and interpretative skills.]
SYNOPSIS
Candidates should either agree or disagree with the statement and explain why. The
emphasis should be on the successes of the different protest actions in relation to the
given statement.
MAIN ASPECTS
Candidates should include the following aspects in their response:
Introduction: Candidates must indicate if they agree or disagree with the statement
ELABORATION
In 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give her seat on the bus to a white passenger
She was subsequently arrested and sentenced to imprisonment. Martin Luther
King and the black community then responded with a boycott against the city
buses.
They refused to use the buses until passengers were completely integrated.
Although the high court declared segregation on buses illegal, many southern
States still refused to integrate their bus services
In 1961 CORE organised the Freedom Rides where both black and white
Americans drove southward to test the effectiveness of the Court's desegregation
decision
In Alabama, one of the buses was burned and a few activists assaulted. This
violence was broadcast on national television and resulted in national attention
for the Freedom Rides.
This forced the Federal Government to step in to protect the activists and to
enforce the Supreme Court decision. In this way, the Freedom Rides led to the
desegregation of more bus services in the southern States
In 1960 a small group of black students started a sit-in at a restaurant in
Greensboro that refused to serve black people
They occupied the ‘Whites only’ seats and placed their orders; but were not
served. Within two months the sit-ins spread to 54 cities in 9 states
The students were physically and verbally abused but they followed King's non-
violent strategy of not fighting back
The campaign was successful and a few weeks later six restaurants in Nashville
desegregated and started to serve all people regardless of their skin colour
This was followed by successful campaigns against segregated transport,
restaurants, swimming pools, theatres, libraries, beaches and public parks
The Civil Rights Movement now moved their focus to gaining voting rights for
Blacks in Mississippi through a strategy called ‘Freedom Summer’

(EC/JUNE 2019) HISTORY P1 23
Blacks in America could only vote if they could pass a literacy test. Black and white
students from the North visited churches and schools in the South and taught Blacks
how to read and write
They were abused and harassed and at least three activists were killed. In spite of
this, the Freedom Summer campaign continued and was a success because many
more Blacks could now pass the literacy test
In this way more Blacks were now able to vote
Birmingham was a strong KKK fortress and described as America’s most racist city.
In April 1963 King led a march to protest against segregation and unfair employment
in the city
He was arrested. He consequently used children to continue the campaign in
Birmingham. The police suppressed the march with violence
The images of children being sprayed with high-pressure water pipes and being
attacked by dogs and police, caused international news and condemnation.
The media had once again shown America what life was like for African Americans
in the South
The march was ended through a compromise. The protest action was stopped and
the city's facilities were desegregated and more Blacks were employed in the city’s
departmental stores
On 28 August 1963, King led a march of more than 200 000 Americans in
Washington for jobs and freedom
He wanted to emphasise the political and social challenges that black Americans
faced each day. The march tried to address the unemployment of Blacks and to gain
full racial equality
It culminated in Martin Luther King Jr.'s ‘I have a dream’ speech, a spirited call for
racial justice and equality
This led to the Federal Government passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that banned
segregation in public accommodation and discrimination in education and jobs
This was followed up by the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which removed all restrictions
on voting rights
Literacy tests and extra taxes would no longer be allowed to prevent African
Americans from voting
Any other relevant answer.
Conclusion: Candidates should tie up their argument by mentioning the success of the
Civil Rights Movement in effecting changes in the United States of
America. [50]
