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 30%
LEVEL 1
relevant information from sources. (14)
Define historical concepts/terms.

30%
LEVEL 3 limitations.
(16)
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 2020) 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.

4 HISTORY P2 (EC/SEPTEMBER 2020)
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).

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 indicate whether they agree or disagree with the statement and
indicate if it was the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989 that significantly contributed
to the political transformation that occurred in South Africa.
MAIN ASPECTS
Candidates should include the following aspects in their response:
Introduction: Candidates need to take a stance and indicate if it was the collapse of
the Soviet Union that contributed to the political transformation in South Africa.
ELABORATION
Gorbachev’s reform 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 fall of the USSR deprived the ANC of its main source of support (financial,
military, morally and the consequences thereof)
The National Party’s claim that it acted as protector to a communist onslaught in
Southern Africa 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’
Influential members of the National Party realised that apartheid was not the answer
to the needs of white capitalist development
The Battle of Cuito Cuanavale and the consequences thereof
The security forces and state of emergency did not stop township protests
By the late 1980s South Africa was in a state of economic depression
The role of business leaders in South Africa’s political transformation
PW Botha suffered a stroke and was succeeded by FW de Klerk

22 HISTORY P2 (EC/SEPTEMBER 2020)
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
On 2 February 1990 De Klerk announced ‘a new and just constitutional
dispensation’
De Klerk unbanned all anti-apartheid organisations including the ANC, PAC and
South African Communist Party
This signalled the end of apartheid and the beginning of the process of negotiations
Any other relevant response
Conclusion: Candidates should tie up their argument with a relevant conclusion. [50]
