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 the
sources.
50%
LEVEL 2 • Explain information gathered from the
(25)
sources.
• Analyse evidence from the sources.
• Interpret and evaluate evidence from
sources.
• Engage with sources to determine its
usefulness, reliability, bias and 20%
LEVEL 3
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.

QUESTION 5: NATIONALISM IN THE MIDDLE EAST
[Plan and construct an original argument based on relevant evidence using analytical
and interpretative skills.]
SYNOPSIS
Candidates should take a stance on whether it was Jewish nationalism that eventually
led to the establishment of the state of Israel.
MAIN ASPECTS
Candidates should include the following aspects
Introduction: Candidates should take a stance whether they agree or disagree with the
statement and support their argument with relevant historical evidence.
ELABORATION
• Origins of Arab and Jewish nationalism (Background)
ARAB NATIONALISM
• Arab leaders began to appeal to the idea of a common Arab language and culture
as a way of mobilising united resistance to Turkish rule
• There was a concern among Arab communities that the Zionist settlers desired to
settle in Arab land at the exclusion of the Arabs
• Britain and France were showing interest in the Middle East and were competing
with one another for influence
• This gave rise to the First Arab National Congress and the publication of the Arab
Nationalist Manifesto
• From this Congress emerged a loose Arab nationalist movement that wanted to
create a single united Arab nation that was independent from Turkish rule
• During the First World War, Britain encouraged the Arab nationalist to rebel
against their Turkish rulers
• In return the British were prepared to recognise and support the independence of
the Arabs
• By the end of First World War the Arab armies had liberated almost all Arab land
from Turkish rule
• The Arabs expected Britain to honour its promise to support Arab independence,
but had other plans and did not keep to its promise
• Arab nationalism began to take on a strong anti-Western attitude and focused on
getting rid of Western control in the Middle East
• There were widespread revolts against British and French rule in the Middle East
• Increasing Jewish immigration in Palestine led to Arab nationalism taking on a
strong anti-Zionist and anti-Jewish character
JEWISH NATIONALISM
• In many European countries, strong racial, religious and nationalistic feeling,
strengthened by ideas of ‘scientific’ racism led to increased anti-Semitism
• In 1897, influenced by these trends, a group of Jewish leaders in Western Europe
came together at the first Zionist Congress in Basle, Switzerland
• The leader of the Zionist movement was Theodore Herzl
• The purpose of Zionism is to create a refuge for the Jewish people in the land of
Israel
• The Zionists believed that Jews needed a ‘refuge’ from centuries of persecution,
and that this could only be achieved if there was some kind of ‘national homeland’,
for the Jewish people

(EC/NOVEMBER 2022) HISTORY P2 19
• The movement called itself after Zion, the Hebrew name for Jerusalem, and
referred to the Biblical claim that the land of Israel was given to the Jewish
people by the God of Israel
• There were two main elements to the Zionist strategy:
o One was to encourage Jewish immigration to Palestine
o The other was to lobby for recognition for a national home for the Jews
among Western European governments
THE BALFOUR DECLARATION
• In 1917, the British Foreign Secretary, James Balfour wrote to Lord Rothschild, a
leader of the British Jewish community, promising to help Jews establish a
Jewish state in Palestine
• This letter became known as the Balfour Declaration
• The Balfour Declaration clashed with Britain’s promise to Arabs that Britain
would support Arab independence in the Middle East
• The Zionists saw the declaration as clear recognition of Jewish claims
• After the First World War, Britain’s mandate over Palestine, however stated that
Britain should implement the terms of the Balfour Declaration
• The Zionists interpreted the mandate of the League of Nations as a sign that the
international community supported the creation of a national home for Jews in
Palestine
• The Palestinians Arabs rejected the Balfour Declaration and the mandate
Establishment of the state of Israel
• Britain encouraged Jewish immigration
• Palestinian Arabs demanded an end to Jewish immigration
• Palestinian Arabs organised anti-British protests, which led to violent clashes
between Arab and armed Jewish groups and the police
• Britain suppressed the Arab protests
• The Jews saw these attacks as a sign of Arab anti-Semitism, and formed an
armed ‘self-defence’ militia called the Haganah
• In 1936 during another Palestinian uprising, British and Jewish targets were
attacked
• In 1937 Britain proposed that Palestine be partitioned into a Jewish state and an
Arab state
• Jews supported it in principle, but Arab Palestinians opposed partition
• After World War II a Jewish armed group called the Irgun blew up the military
headquarters in Jerusalem, killing over a 100 people
• Britain handed the problem over to the United Nations (UN)
• The UN produced a plan for the partition of Palestine based on British proposals
• More than half of Palestine was allocated to the Jewish state
• Palestinians and their Arab allies rejected the UN partition plan
• A civil war erupted and Britain withdrew its troops from Palestine
• On 14 May 1948, David Ben-Gurion, the Jewish leader in Palestine declared the
state of Israel
• On 15 May 1948 the First Arab-Israeli War broke out
• Any other relevant response
Conclusion: Candidates should tie up their argument with a relevant conclusion. [50]
