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

     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
                                                                                              18-19
                                                                P             LEVEL 5

        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

      • Telegram was written at the time when the Cold War tension
          was at its peak
      • The information in the telegram can be corroborated by
          other sources
      • It captures the brinkmanship that existed between the
          superpowers i.e. the withdrawal of Russian missiles from Cuba vs. the
          withdrawal of USA (NATO) missiles from Turkey

             remove the missiles
        • Khrushchev has 'lost' this battle/prestige in Cold War conflict with the US
        • The removal of missiles will also 'hurt' Cuba (Castro would be toothless and
            powerless)
        • It seems that Cuba had no choice in this matter (removal of missiles)
        • Any other relevant response                                         (any 2 x 2) (4)

1.3.3 [Interpretation of evidence from Source 1C – L2 – LO1 (AS3); LO3 (AS2)]
      A mere statement of 'unhappy' or 'happy' for an answer would not suffice.
      It is expected of candidates to substantiate their answer.
        (a)
       • Resentment because of the removal of nuclear missiles from Cuba
       • Vulnerability because of a USA invasion

             (AS1, 2, 3 and 4)]

               SYNOPSIS
               Candidates need to discuss how the detection of Soviet missiles by the USA
               in Cuba led to intensified Cold War tensions between the superpowers during
               the 1960s.

              MAIN ASPECTS
              Candidates should include the following aspects in their response:

               •     Introduction: Candidates should indicate their line of argument and how
                     they intend to support their line of argument.

               ELABORATION
               • Background - Reasons for the missile build-up in Cuba (Bay of Pigs; NATO
                 missiles in Turkey and Italy; Spreading of communism in Latin America)
               • USA spy planes discovered missiles sites in Cuba (The American reaction-
                 blockade, calls for removal, threatened invasion of Cuba)
               • The Soviet response (disobeyed blockade and gave its submarine
                 commanders orders to take action against US ships)
               • At first the Soviet Union did not admit to missiles sites in Cuba
                 (Later the Soviet Union admits, but claims it is for defensive purposes only)
               • Negotiations between the USA and Soviet Union intensified the Cold War
                 (The Soviet Union agreed to remove missiles from Cuba only if the USA
                 gave an undertaking not to invade Cuba)
               • The USA acceded to this demand (Undertook to remove missiles
                 from Turkey but it should not be made public so that Kennedy is not
                 portrayed as 'weak')
               • Tensions between the USA and USSR increased as an American spy
                 plane is shot down over Cuban airspace, but the USA did not respond
               • The superpowers reached an agreement on the missile crisis (USA would
                 not invade Cuba and will remove missiles from Turkey and Italy; The USSR
                 would remove missiles from Cuba and would dismantle missiles under
                 United Nations supervision)
               • A hotline was set up between the White House and the Kremlin/Nuclear
                 Test Ban Treaty was signed/Through negotiations a 'Hot War' was averted
               • Any other relevant response

               •     Conclusion: Candidates need to tie up the discussion with a relevant
                     conclusion.                                                       (30)

                                         NSC – Memorandum

       1.5.2   [Synthesise information to construct an original argument using
               evidence from the sources and own knowledge to support the argument -
               L2 – LO1 (AS 3 and 4); LO2 (AS1, 2 and 3); LO3 (AS1, 2, 3 and 4)]

               SYNOPSIS
               In answering this question, candidates should take an independent line of
               argument in showing how Khrushchev and Kennedy search for a peaceful
               solution to prevent total destruction of human kind

               MAIN ASPECTS
               • Introduction: Candidates should show their line of argument and indicate
                 how they intend answering the question.
               ELABORATION
               • Reasons for the missile build-up in Cuba (Bay of Pigs; NATO missiles in
                 Turkey and Italy; Spreading of communism in Latin America)
               • USA spy planes discovered missile sites in Cuba (Kennedy called for the
                 removal of missiles, USSR refuses; Kennedy launched a blockade and
                 quarantine; Kennedy did not attack Cuba, showed that he was searching
                 for a peaceful solution)
               • Khrushchev showed he was also willing to give peace a chance by
                 asking the USA to lift the blockade, not invade Cuba (Khrushchev left
                 the door open for discussion on destruction and removal of missiles from
                 Cuba)
               • Khrushchev also asked America to remove missiles from Turkey and
                 Italy (Kennedy did not accede to this demand publicly, he
                  privately gave assurances that it will be removed after discussions
                  with NATO)
               • Kennedy did not retaliate when an American spy plane was shot
                  down over Cuban airspace (Kennedy demanded removal of missiles or
                  America will be forced to attack)
               • Khrushchev finally agrees to remove missiles under UNO supervision
               • Both leaders emerge from the crises as victors
               • Any other relevant response

               •     Conclusion: Candidates should tie up their argument.      (30)

               Socialism was a success. Candidates should substantiate their line of
               argument with relevant examples.

               MAIN ASPECTS
               Candidates should include the following aspects in their response:

               •     Introduction: Candidates should indicate their line of argument and state
                     to what extent they agree with the statement.

               ELABORATION
               To a great extent:
               • Nyerere's vision for Tanzania was set out in the Arusha Declaration
               • Nyerere introduced the policy of Ujamaa (self-reliance, African
                  Socialism, reducing the gap between rich and poor)
               • Rural development was important (increased agricultural productivity,
                  implemented his villagisation programme, communities worked together)
               • Tanzania became a one-party state with TANU as ruling party
                   (A Leadership Code was introduced, politicians were prohibited to hold
                   company shares, Swahili was made the national language, the rights of
                   workers were encouraged
               • Nyerere proposed a sound system of education (literacy rose and many
                  people could read and write)
               • Nyerere improved good social services, people had access to clean
                   water

               To a lesser extent:
               • Tanzania owed huge amounts of money to the World Bank
               • Basic needs like soap and oil had to be imported
               • Workers were unhappy with the conditions of work and embarked on
                  strikes
               • Nyerere admitted that ujamaa had failed
               • Any other relevant response

               •     Conclusion: Candidates should tie up their argument with a relevant
                     conclusion.                                                      (30)

               SYNOPSIS

               Candidates should critically evaluate the statement and discuss the
               Arusha Declaration and why Nyerere believed in it.

               MAIN ASPECTS

               Candidates should include the following points in their response.

               •     Introduction: Candidates should indicate their line of argument and
                     give relevant examples of what was outlined in the Arusha
                     Declaration.

               ELABORATION
               Nyerere believed in the Arusha Declaration because:
               •  It set out his vision of African Socialism
               •  Policy of Ujamaa was outlined – focus on African Socialism
               •  Tanzania would become self-reliant through ujamaa
               • Tanzania will be built up through Socialism
               •  Class distinction was eliminated – everybody became a worker
               •  Nationalisation of key sources of production occurred e.g. banks,
                  Insurance companies, sisal plantations, farming companies and shops
               •  Corruption was prevented through his Leadership Code
               •  A one-party state was set up in Tanzania under TANU
               •  Education became a great success because literacy rose, compulsory
                  education for children was introduced
               • Health services improved and Tanzanians had access to piped water
               • The Arusha Declaration failed because of a lack of trained/ experienced
                  officials but he still believed in it because it was his vision
               • Nyerere admitted that his policy had failed but it was still his vision
               •  Any other relevant response

               •     Conclusion: Candidates should tie up their argument with a relevant
                     conclusion.                                                         (30)

3.3.5 [Comparing evidence from Sources 3C – L3 – LO1 (AS3); LO2 (AS3);
       LO3 (AS2)]
       The visual source supports the written source in the following ways:
       • The visual source appeals for support for the march while the written source
         mentions the number of people who attended the march
       • The demands made in the visual source are repeated in the written source
       • Any other relevant response                                      (any 2 x 2) (4)

       (AS3 and 4), LO2 (AS1, 2 and 3) LO3 (AS 1, 2, 3 and 4)]

       Candidates must focus on the following aspects:
       Candidates can select either Source 3A or Source 3B or Source 3C and indicate
       why it is useful.
       In answering this question candidates need to show that the source is relevant
       to the investigation and reliable by interrogating the provenance (origin) and
       level of bias

      SOURCE 3A is useful because:
       • It highlights the rise and aims of the Civil Rights Movement
       • It highlights the strategies used by the Civil Rights Movement
       • It explains the resistance and methods used by the people of the South
       • It highlights the successes of the Civil Rights Movement
       • Any other relevant response

      SOURCE 3B is useful because:
       • Shows that both black and white in Americans opposed segregation (Written
         Source)
       • Highlights the experiences of the Freedom Riders (Written Source)
       • Highlights the attitude and behaviour of those who were opposed to
         desegregation (Written Source)
       • It shows that on 4 May 1961 the Freedom Riders embarked on protest action
       • Provides evidence that the incident did occur by showing protesters riding
         the bus (Visual Source)
       • Highlights the demands of the Freedom Riders (Visual Source)
       • Any other relevant response

      SOURCE 3C is useful because:
      The visual source:
       • Informs the readers who the leaders were
       • Informs the reader of the reasons for the march
       • Informs the reader about the contact details for bus reservations
            and the organising committee
