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 LEVEL 1 · Selection and organisation of relevant 30% information from sources (15) · Define historical concepts/terms · Interpretation of evidence from sources LEVEL 2 40% · Explain information gathered from sources (20) · Analyse evidence from sources · Interpret and evaluate evidence from sources · Engage with sources to determine its LEVEL 3 usefulness, 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. · 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 (ü) 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 (üüüü); (1 x 2) which translates to one reason and is given two marks (üü) · If a question carries 4 marks then indicate by placing 4 ticks (üüüü) 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.

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 introductions and/or conclusions 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 argument · The construction of an argument (planned, structured and has an independent line of argument).

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 in 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: 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 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 ↕ Copyright reserved Please turn over

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.
