NSC – Marking Guidelines
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 information 30%
LEVEL 1
from sources (15)
• Define historical concepts/terms
• Interpretation of evidence from sources
40%
LEVEL 2 • Explain information gathered from sources
(20)
• Analyse evidence from sources
• Interpret and evaluate evidence from sources
• Engage with sources to determine its usefulness,
reliability, bias and limitations 30%
LEVEL 3
• Compare and contrast interpretations and (15)
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 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 ()
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.

History/P2 3 DBE/November 2018
NSC – Marking Guidelines
• 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.
2.3 Global assessment of the essay
The essay will be assessed holistically (globally). This approach requires the
teacher to assess the essay as a whole, rather than assessing the main points of
the essay separately. This approach encourages the learner to write an original
argument by using relevant evidence to support the line of argument. The learner
will not be required to simply regurgitate content (facts) in order to achieve a level
7 (high mark). This approach discourages learners from preparing essays and
reproducing them without taking the specific requirements of the question into
account. Holistic marking of the essay credits learners' opinions that are 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 an argument (planned, structured and has an independent
line of argument)

NSC – Marking Guidelines
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 (which is indicated by a bullet in the marking guideline),
the main aspects/body of the essay that sustains/defends the line of
argument (which is indicated by bullets in the marking guideline) and a
relevant conclusion (which is indicated by a bullet in the marking guideline).
For example, in an essay where there are five (5) main points there could be
about seven (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 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.
2.4.4 The following symbols MUST be used when assessing an essay:
• Introduction, main aspects and conclusion not properly contextualised
^
• Wrong statement _________________
• Irrelevant statement |
|

• Repetition R
• Analysis A√
• Interpretation I√

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
P LEVEL 3
(c) Allocate an overall mark with the use of the matrix.
