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 sources
                      Explain information gathered from the               50%

                       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

              (c)    Allocate an overall mark with the use of the matrix.

                                                         C       LEVEL 4

SECTION B: ESSAY QUESTIONS

QUESTION 4: NATIONALISM IN SOUTH AFRICA: AFRICAN NATIONALISM

[Plan and construct an original argument based on relevant evidence using analytical
and interpretative skills.]

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
Nationalism.

MAIN ASPECTS
Candidates should include the following aspects in their response:
 Introduction: Candidates need to take a stance and demonstrate if they agree or
   disagree with the statement.

ELABORATION
 Started as a form of resistance to colonialism/segregation
 Formation of the APO in 1902 by Dr Abdurahman
 Protested against the exclusion of blacks from the right to vote
 Delegation to London in 1905 to achieve non-racial franchise, end discrimination
  and the right to vote to blacks. Britain ignored the request
 Formation of the SANNC in 1912 to oppose discrimination and to win political
  rights
 SANNC wanted to unite everyone who was oppressed by whites
 SANNC sent a delegation to London in 1914 to appeal against the Native Land
  Act but they were not successful
 In 1923 the SANNC changed its name to the ANC
 Formation of ICU in 1919 addressing the grievances of the black dock workers –
  fought against government policies
 ICU had mass support – ANC had the support of the elite
 Formation of the SACP addressing black workers’ grievances
 Spread of education led to growing awareness of the ideas of freedom and
  democracy
 The influence of World War Two – many blacks involved fought for freedom and
  democracy
 Young members of the ANC became more militant and formed the ANC Youth
  League
 Youth League accused the ANC of representing the elite and not the masses
 1953 saw the ANC Freedom Charter call for a democratic South Africa regardless
  of race
 Pan Africanism aimed to free black people all over the world
