Downloaded from hlayiso.com SCE - Memorandum History/SG/P2 DBE/2014 Global assessment of essays The essays will be assessed holistically (globally). This approach requires the educator to score the overall product as a whole, without scoring the component parts separately. This approach encourages the learner to offer an individual opinion through 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. It will also discourage learners to prepare "model" answers and reproduce them without taking into account the specific requirements of the question. Holistic essay marking credits learners' opinions. Holistic assessment, unlike content based marking, does not penalise language inadequacies as the emphasis is on the following: * the construction of argument; e the appropriate selection of factual evidence to support such argument; and o) the learner's interpretation of the question. Assessment procedures of an essay 1. Keep the synopsis in mind when assessing the essay. 2. During the first reading of the essay ticks need to be awarded for a relevant introduction (indicated by a bullet in marking guideline/ memorandum) each of the main points/ aspects that is properly contextualised (also indicated by bullets in marking guideline/ memorandum) a relevant conclusion (indicated by a bullet in marking guideline/ memorandum) e.g. in an answer where there are 5 main points there will be 7 ticks. 3. The following additional symbols can also be used: introduction, main aspects and conclusion not Properly contextualised /\ ° wrong statement —_————- ° irrelevant statement ¢ repetition R ° analysis AV ¢ interpretation lV Copyright reserved Please, over
