1.2 The following levels of questions were used to assess source-based questions:
LEVELS OF SOURCE-BASED QUESTIONS

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

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

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 P LEVEL 5
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
