 1. SOURCE-BASED QUESTIONS

     1.1 The following cognitive levels were used to develop source-based
         questions:

     COGNITIVE                                                     WEIGHTING OF

                       Extract evidence from sources.
                       Selection and organisation of relevant           30%
       LEVEL 1
                        information from sources.                        (15)
                       Define historical concepts/terms.
                       Interpretation of evidence from the
                        sources.
                                                                         40%
       LEVEL 2         Explain information gathered from the
                                                                         (20)
                        sources.
                       Analyse evidence from the sources.
                       Interpret and evaluate evidence from
                        sources.
                       Engage with sources to determine its
                        usefulness, reliability, bias and                30%
       LEVEL 3
                        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 ()

(EC/SEPTEMBER 2019)                       HISTORY P2                                           3

           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
             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.

 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
                     E   what 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.

 2.5     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 essays 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 essays will relate to the level (on the
                           matrix) of presentation.
                                                             C       LEVEL 4

 QUESTION 6: THE END OF THE COLD WAR AND A NEW WORLD ORDER:
             1989 TO THE PRESENT
 [Plan and construct an original argument based on relevant evidence using
 analytical and interpretative skills.]
 SYNOPSIS
 Candidates need to critically discuss how the collapse of communism in the Soviet
 Union led to negotiation between the African National Congress (ANC) and the
 National Party (NP) government.

 MAIN ASPECTS
 Candidates should include the following aspects in their response:
  Introduction: Candidates need to take a stance and indicate whether
   Gorbachev’s policies led to the collapse of communism and led to negotiations
   between the NP and the ANC.

 ELABORATION
  Gorbachev’s policies of glasnost and perestroika
  By the end of 1989 the Soviet Union disintegrated and its impact
  The communist regimes in Eastern Europa collapsed
  Political changes in the rest of the world put pressure on the apartheid regime
    to embark on changes
  The collapse of communism affected both the National Party and the ANC
  The National Party was now prepared to negotiate with the ANC
  The National Party’s fear of a communist-controlled ANC now seemed
    unfounded
  After the demise of communism in the Soviet Union; the ANC did not receive
    further support from the Soviet Union
  The ANC could no longer rely on the Soviet Union for economic and military
    support
  The National Party’s claim that it was protecting South Africa from a communist
    onslaught became unrealistic
  Countries in the western world supported the move that South Africa should
    resolve its problems peacefully and democratically
  There was no doubt that continued repression of black South Africans by the
    apartheid regime was not sustainable and would result in political instability
  The government started to believe that reform was needed to include the
    development of a strong middle-class which would act as a ‘bulwark against the
    revolution’
  PW Botha suffered a stroke and was succeeded by FW de Klerk
  FW de Klerk realised South Africa’s political predicament and began to accept
    that the black South African struggle against apartheid was not a conspiracy
    directed from Moscow
  This enabled De Klerk to engage in discussions with the liberation
    organisations
