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 in own words
                •    Interpretation of evidence from sources
                •    Explain information gathered from sources                  40%
 Level 2
                •    Analyse evidence from sources                              (20)
                •    Explain historical concepts in context
                •    Interpret and evaluate evidence from sources
                •    Engage with sources to determine 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.

                                      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 √√√√
          COMMENT
          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
      •   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)

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√
               • Line of Argument                 LOA

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

             Candidates could include the following aspects in their response:

             •   Globalisation triggered Multinational companies like Walmart to expand
                 their activities to all corners of the world /Companies expand their
                 activities across borders to access larger markets and cheaper
                 resources/free trade encouraged Walmart to settle in South Africa as its
                 first host country in Africa (Source 3A)
             •   South African companies became uneasy with Walmart's expansion to
                 South Africa (own knowledge)
             •   SACCAWU challenged the merger – regarded Walmart as the economic
                 coloniser (Source 3B)
             •   SACTWU highlighted in their submission' the negative effects that
                 Walmart's presence would have on the manufacturing and retail industry
                 (Source 3C)
             •   SACTWU intimated (suggested) that the merger would cause foreclosure
                 of domestic manufacturers within industries which supply the retail sector/
                 job losses amongst black workers / de-industrialisation (Source 3C)
             •   According to the SACTWU submission, small businesses and businesses
                 owned by historically disadvantaged persons would become less
                 competitive (Source 3C)
             •   Walmart's presence in local market would lead to lowering of prices -
                 compelling employees to accept lower wages and working conditions
                 (Source 3C)
             •   Would lead to competition with local retailers forcing them to increase
                 their prices (own knowledge)
             •   There won't be any consumer benefits as claimed by the merging parties
                 arising out of the lowering of prices (Source 3C)
             •   Ramburuth of the Competition Commission maintained that local
                 suppliers would not have a chance to sell their products if Walmart enters
                 with its sophisticated network of produce (Source 3D)
             •   Local suppliers will be disadvantaged in favour of cheap supplies from
                 other countries (own knowledge)
             •   Any other relevant response
