  2. REPORTING AND RECORDING ON THE PROGRAMME OF
      ASSESSMENT (SBA)

      The marks achieved in each assessment task in the formal Programme of
      Assessment must be recorded and included in formal reports to parents and School
      Management Teams. These marks will be submitted as the internal school based
      assessment (SBA) mark.

NB! As per NPPPPR of NCS, we record in marks, but we report in percentages.

The Programme of Assessment should be recorded in the teacher’s SBA file of assessment.
The following should be included in the teacher’s SBA file:

• A contents page;
• The formal Programme of Assessment;
                                            5
• The requirements of each of the assessment tasks;
• The tools used for assessment for each task; and
• Working mark sheets for each class.

Teachers must report regularly and timeously to learners and parents on the progress of
learners. Schools will determine the reporting mechanism but it could include written reports,
parent-teacher interviews and parents meeting. Schools are required to provide written reports
to parents once per term on the Programme of Assessment using a formal reporting tool. This
report must indicate the percentage achieved per subject and include the following seven-point
scale.

         RATING                 RATING                           MARKS

             7         Outstanding achievement                  80 – 100

             6          Meritorious achievement                  70 –79

             5          Substantial achievement                  60 – 69

             4          Adequate achievement                     50 – 59

             3          Moderate achievement                     40 – 49

             2         Elementary achievement                    30 – 39

             1               Not achieved                          0 – 29

  3. MODERATION OF THE ASSESSMENT TASKS IN THE PROGRAMME OF

           ASSESSMENT

       All schools should have an internal assessment moderation policy in place, which has
       guidelines for the internal moderation of all significant pieces of assessment. There
       should also be scheduled dates for the internal moderation of teachers’ SBA file and
       evidence of learner performance.

       The subject head and the School Management Team are responsible for drawing up
       the moderation plan and for ensuring that school-based moderation happens on a
       regular basis.

       The teacher SBA file required for moderation for promotion requirements should
       include:

   •      Planning (School moderation management plan)
   •      Forms of moderation
                Pre moderation
Post moderation
   •          Copies of tasks, tests and exams administered
   •          Assessment criteria and marking guidelines for the above
   •          Working Mark sheets
   •          Diagnostic and statistical analysis
   •          Attendance report

       Moderation of the assessment tasks should take place at the three levels
       tabulated below.

       LEVEL                        MODERATION REQUIREMENTS

School              The Programme of Assessment should be submitted to the subject
                    head and School Management Team before the start of the
                    academic year for moderation purposes.

                    Each task which is to be used as part of the Programme of
                    Assessment should be submitted to the subject head for moderation
                    before learners attempt the task.

                    Teacher SBA files and evidence of learner performance should be
                    moderated by the head of the subject or her/his delegate before
                    moderation at a cluster/district level.

District/ region    Teacher SBA files and a sample of evidence of learner performance
                    must be moderated during the first three terms.

Provincial/         Teacher SBA files and a sample of evidence of learner performance
National            must be moderated once a year.

7. SOURCE-BASED QUESTIONS ASSESSMENT

  7.1 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                   40%
                    information from sources                                 (20)
                •   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            20%
   LEVEL 3      •   Compare and contrast interpretations and                 (10)
                    perspectives presented in sources and draw
                    independent conclusions

7.2 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.

7.3 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.

  8.   ESSAY QUESTIONS

8.1    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.

  8.2 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.

  8.3 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)

                                                   13
8.4 Assessment procedures of the essay

   8.4.1 Keep the synopsis in mind when assessing the essay.

   8.4.2 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.

   8.4.3 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.

 8.4.4   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√

8.5 The matrix

      8.5.1       Using 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 the essay 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 the essay 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.

                                                           C       LEVEL 4
                                                                                 }26–

QUESTION 1:           WHAT WAS THE IMPACT OF FEUDALISM ON
                      EUROPE?

  SOURCE 1A

    The source below is a description of the feudal system in Europe during the Middle Ages.

    Feudalism was a hierarchical system of land use and patronage that dominated
    Europe between the ninth and 14th centuries. Under Feudalism, a monarch's
    kingdom was divided and subdivided into agricultural estates called manors.
    The nobles who controlled these manors oversaw agricultural production and
    swore loyalty to the king. Despite the social inequality it produced, Feudalism
    helped stabilize European society. But in the 14th century, Feudalism waned.
    The underlying reasons for this included warfare, disease and political change.
    And when feudalism finally came to an end, so too did the Middle Ages.

SOURCE 1B

   The following source focuses on the impact of the Plague on Europe.

     The disease (the Plague or Black Death) existed in two varieties, one contracted by
     insect bite and another airborne. In both cases, victims rarely lasted more than three
     to four days between initial infection and death, a period of intense fever and vomiting
     during which their lymph nodes swelled uncontrollably and finally burst. The plague
     bacteria had lain dormant for hundreds of years before incubating again in the 1320s
     in the Gobi Desert of Asia, from which it spread quickly in all directions in the blood of
     fleas that travelled with rodent hosts. Following very precisely the medieval trade routes
     from China, through Central Asia and Turkey, the plague finally reached Italy in 1347
     aboard a merchant ship whose crew had all already died or been infected by the time
     it reached port. Densely populated Europe, which had seen a recent growth in the
     population of its cities, was a tinderbox for the disease. The Black Death ravaged the
     continent for three years before it continued on into Russia, killing one-third to one-half
     of the entire population in ghastly (terrible) fashion. The plague killed indiscriminately
     – young and old, rich and poor – but especially in the cities and among groups who
     had close contact with the sick. Entire monasteries filled with friars were wiped out and
     Europe lost most of its doctors. In the countryside, whole villages were abandoned.
     The disease reached even the isolated outposts of Greenland and Iceland, leaving only
     wild cattle roaming free without any farmers, according to chroniclers who visited years
     later.

SOURCE 1C

     The source below is a painting called The Triumph of Death by artist Pieter
     Breugel in 1562 was inspired by the Black Death.

SOURCE 1D

The following source is an extract from Daily History explains how the Plague gave rise to
the Renaissance.

     In the aftermath of the Black Death, the economy of Italy benefited greatly from trade
     and thus some areas became industrialized such as Florence. In this city, there was
     a large class of weavers who wove cloth for home consumption and export. The
     wealth of Italy increased because of trade but it also changed people’s outlook, who
     gradually adopted a more rational approach to the world. Italian society had evolved
     very differently from the rest of Europe. Northern Italy in particular, was much more
     urbanised than the rest of Europe. Many of the largest cities in Europe were located
     in Northern Europe such as Florence and Milan. Urban societies are widely believed
     to be more dynamic than agrarian societies. In towns and cities' people come together
     and converse and debate. Urban societies are also more open to new ideas as
     immigrants and traders settled in them. The plazas and taverns of Florence and other
     cities were often filled with people, many of them outsiders discussing new ideas and
     exchanging copies of manuscripts. This was a milieu that was beneficial to creative
     and intellectual endeavours.

QUESTION 1:HOW DID THE ZULU KINGDOM EMERGE UNDER SHAKA?

Source 1A: The following source focuses on the rise of the Zulu Kingdom under Shaka.

 In 1819 the Zulus attacked the Ndwandwe, destroyed Zwide’s capital and broke up
 his kingdom. It is now believed that internal divisions also helped to break up the
 Ndwandwe kingdom. There was disagreement among the Ndwandwe about
 whether it was better to fight the Zulu or they should focus instead on trading with
 the north. Some members of the Zwide’s ruling group disagreed with his warlike
 ideas and moved away to the Delagoa Bay……….

  Shaka used the amabutho to expand his power and control by sending them on
 raids into neighbouring chiefdoms. Older versions of history used to claim that these
 raids were violent and bloodthirsty, and that Shaka controlled over 50 000 armed
 men who killed almost a million people. However, historians now believe that is not
 accurate, and that it was not simply force and warfare that led to the rise of the Zulu
 state under Shaka. They think that peaceful diplomacy played an equally important
 role in persuading other chiefdoms to join the Zulu state. Although Shaka tried to
 break up or drive away chiefdoms that he thought could threaten his own power, he
 allowed others to remain as they were, provided they did not threaten him. He
 offered them protection in return.
                                              [From In Search Of History Grade 10 page 112]
Source 1B: The source below describes the structure of the Zulu Kingdom.

Source 1B: The source below describes the structure of the Zulu Kingdom.

 The Zulu state under Shaka certainly became more militarised. Shaka also created
 amabutho of young women and controlled marriages between them and the male
 amabutho soldiers. Zulu society under Shaka consisted of three levels. At the top
 was the king and an aristocracy or inkundla consisting of Zulu royal family and
 leaders of chiefdoms that had become part of the Zulu state. The second level was
 the population of the central parts of the kingdom, making up the amabutho and
 their families. At the bottom were people of low status who were not members of
 amabutho and who did the daily tasks of work, such as herding the cattle.

Source 1C: The following photograph shows how trade helped the Zulu Kingdom to rise.

Source 1D: The extract below shows how guns helped Shaka to conquer other
           Kingdoms.

 Trade also helped the Zulu kingdom to become powerful. They traded in ivory and
 cattle with the Portuguese at Delagoa Bay in return for manufactured goods like
 cloth and guns. After 1824 they also traded with the small settlement of British
 traders at Port Natal (later to be called Durban). The Zulu bought manufactured
 goods and firearms from them.

 It may have been because Shaka had access to guns and help from the Port Natal
 traders that he attacked the Ndwandwe kingdom again in 1826. The Ndwandwe
 was now ruled by Zwide’s son Sikhunyana. Several of the Port Natal traders joined
 Shaka’s forces in the attack. The Ndwandwe were defeated at the Izindolwane hills,
 and many were killed and their cattle seized. As a result of this defeat, the
 Ndwandwe kingdom collapsed. Many Ndwandwe joined the Zulu and promised
 loyalty to Shaka, while others fled.

 QUESTION 2: ESSAY QUESTION

 The emergence of the Basotho Kingdom under Moshoeshoe and his relationship with his
 neighbours.

   [Plan, construct and discuss an argument based on evidence using analytical and
   interpretation skills]

   SYNOPSIS
   Learners should indicate how the Basotho Kingdom emerged under Moshoeshoe.

   MAIN ASPECTS
   Candidates should include the following aspects in their response:

   Introduction: Learners must go about assessing the emergence of the Basotho Kingdom
   under Moshoeshoe

   ELABORATION:
   Learners should include the following aspects in their response:

 Critically discuss the emergence of the Basotho kingdom under Moshoeshoe and his
 relationship with his neighbours.

    •   The Caledon Valley was badly affected by Boer, Kora and Griqua
        Raiders.
    •   Moshoeshoe of the Bamokotedi (Sotho-speaking) offered people
        protection and cattle in return for support.
    •   They lived on a mountain, Thaba Bosiu, which was easy to defend.
    •   At first Moshoeshoe raided other groups, especially the Tembu.
                                                        40
•   Then he established god relationships with his neighbours.
•   Many refugees and whole chiefdoms joined him for protection.
•   He used the mafisa system, giving cattle in return for loyalty.
•   The Sotho kingdom was not a centralised states – smaller chiefdoms
    could run their own affairs.
•   Moshoeshoe could not confront more powerful states – he got Zulu
    support in return for gifts to Shaka.
•   He bought horses and guns from traders in the Cape Colony.
•   He welcomed missionaries to his kingdom.
•   He established good contact with colonial authorities in the Cape.

                                                                    [50]
