1. SOURCE-BASED QUESTIONS
1.1 The following cognitive levels were used to develop source-based
questions:
COGNITIVE WEIGHTING OF
HISTORICAL SKILLS
LEVELS QUESTIONS
Extract evidence from sources
Selection and organisation of relevant 30%
LEVEL 1
information from sources (15)
Define historical concepts/terms
Interpretation of evidence from sources
Explain information gathered from the 50%
LEVEL 2
sources (25)
Analyse evidence from sources
Interpret and evaluate evidence from
sources
Engage with sources to determine its
20%
LEVEL 3 usefulness, reliability, bias and limitations
(10)
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 other 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 × 2) which translates to two
reasons and is given two marks each (); (1 × 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 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 learner’s interpretation of the question
The appropriate selection of factual evidence (relevant content selection)
The construction of argument (planned, structured and has independent line
of argument)
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), each of the
main points/aspects that is properly contextualised (also indicated by
bullets in the marking guideline) and a relevant conclusion (indicated by
a bullet in the marking guideline) 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.
P Point: The candidate introduces the essay by taking a line of
argument/making a major point.
Each paragraph should include a point that sustains the major
point (line of argument) that was made in the introduction.
E Explanation: The candidate should explain in more detail what
the main point is all about and how it relates to the question
posed (line of argument)
E Example: The candidates should answer the question by
selecting content that is relevant to the line of argument. Relevant
examples should be given to sustain the line of argument.
L Link: Candidates should ensure that the line of argument is
sustained throughout the essay and is written coherently.

2. 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
P LEVEL 5
(c) Allocate an overall mark with the use of the matrix.

[Plan and construct an original argument based on relevant evidence using analytical

SYNOPSIS
Candidates should take a stance on whether black South Africans were deprived of
their political, economic and social rights that paved the way for the rise of African

In 1923 the SANNC changed its name to the ANC
Formation of ICU in 1919 addressing the grievances of the black dock workers –
