1.        SOURCE-BASED QUESTIONS
1.1       The following cognitive levels were used to develop source-based questions:

      Cognitive                          Historical skills                       Weighting of
       Levels                                                                     questions
                         Extract evidence from sources
      LEVEL 1            Selection and organisation of relevant                      30%
                          information from sources                                    (15)
                         Define historical concepts/terms

      LEVEL 2            Interpretation of evidence from sources                     40%
                         Explain information gathered from sources                   (20)
                         Analyse evidence from sources
                         Interpret and evaluate evidence from sources
                         Engage with sources to determine its usefulness,
      LEVEL 3             reliability, bias and limitations                           30%
                         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.
            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.
             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.

                                     NCS – Grade 10 – Marking Guidelines

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 construction of argument
           The appropriate selection of factual evidence to support such argument
           The learner's interpretation of the question.
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/memorandum),
                each of the main points/aspects that is properly contextualized (also indicated
                by bullets in the marking guideline/memorandum) and a relevant conclusion
                (indicated by a bullet in the marking guideline/memorandum) e.g. in an answer
                where there are 5 main points there will be 7 ticks.
          2.4.3 The following additional symbols can also be used:
                  • 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.

          L3]
          Learners could include the following aspects in their response:
          In responding to this question, the leaner is required to explain the Tswana
          peoples’ leadership style, lifestyles, and their trading systems
             The Chiefs used an advisory council to run the village/town (own
              knowledge)
             Tswana people used stones to build their homesteads, instead of wood.
              Wood was used as a source of energy to make fire to sustain daily
              activities of the Tswana people (1A)
             The use of stones was environmentally sensible as it conserved wood (1A)
             Trade links existed with other tribes, like the Khoi in the Cape
              Colony, Portuguese in Angola and Mocambique and the Muslims(1B &1D)
             Some Chiefs became very wealthy as a result of controlling these trade
              routes, and chiefdom started to grow larger as more people joined them
              (1B)
             Dithakong was one of the Tswana settlements which were very large and
              accommodated thousands of people (1C)
             Tswana settlements were large with the population of more than 20 000
              people (own knowledge)
             Drought and competition for scarce resources led to chiefdoms building
              alliances with each other for protection. Dithakong and Molokwane are
              good examples of large Tswana settlements. (1D)
             Any other relevant response
Use the following rubric to allocate a mark:

                      Uses evidence in an elementary manner e.g. shows
                       no or little understanding of the Tswana people’s
 LEVEL 1               lifestyles and trading links.                            MARKS

 LEVEL 2               of the Tswana people’s lifestyles and trading            MARKS
                       links.                                                   3-5
                      Uses evidence in a very basic manner to write a
                       Paragraph
                      Uses relevant evidence e.g. demonstrates a
                       thorough understanding of the Tswana people’s
 LEVEL 3               lifestyles and trading links.                            MARKS
                      Uses evidence very effectively in an organised           6-8

          Learners could include the following points in their response:

             The Native Land Act was introduced in 1913 by the Union government
              under the pretext of bringing uniformity on issues of land in all the
              provinces (own knowledge)
             Due to unhappiness in competing with black South African farmers, the
              white farmers called for the government to restrict black landownership in
              South Africa (2A)
             The Act set aside 7.5% of the land as reserves where black South Africans
              could reside and continue with their farming and other activities. (2A & B)
             Thousands of black South African farmers were evicted from their land and
              were forced to become farm labourers and tenants in the white owned
              farms (2A)
             Black children were also denied education in white owned farms (own
              knowledge)
             Although black people were in majority, they occupied only 7–8 percent
              of the land (2B)
             The Land Act brought misery and poverty among the Blacks, as some had
              to leave the farms that they worked on for many years(2C)
             A delegation of SANNC went to Britain to meet the Prime Minister over the
              issue of land, Sol Plaatjie also wrote many stories of people who suffered
              under the Land Act, but still the Union government was not willing to
              introduce reforms(2D)
             Any other relevant answer

Use the following rubric to allocate a mark:

                      Uses evidence in an elementary manner e.g. shows
                       no or little understanding of how the Native Land
      LEVEL 1          Act impacted on the lives of Black South                MARKS
                       Africans.                                                0-2
                      Uses evidence partially or cannot write a paragraph.
                      Evidence is mostly relevant and relates to a great
                       extent to the topic e.g. shows some understanding
      LEVEL 2          of how the Native Land Act impacted on the lives        MARKS
                       of Black South Africans.                                 3-5
                      Uses evidence in a very basic manner to write a
                       paragraph.
                      Uses relevant evidence e.g. demonstrates a
                       thorough understanding of how the Native Land
      LEVEL 3          Act impacted on the lives of Black South                MARKS
                       Africans.                                                6-8
                      Uses evidence very effectively in an organised
                       paragraph that shows an understanding of the topic.
                                                                                      (8)
