1. GRADE 10 PROGRAMME OF ASSESSMENT FOR HISTORY

In Grade 10, the Programme of Assessment consists of tasks undertaken during the school

year and counts 25% of the final Grade 10 mark. The other 75% is made up of end of the

year examination. The learner SBA portfolio is concerned with the 25% internal assessment

of tasks.

NUMBER AND FORMS OF ASSESSMENT REQUIRED FOR THE

PROGRAMME OF ASSESSMENT (SBA) FOR HISTORY GRADE 10

The Programme of Assessment for History comprises seven tasks which are internally

assessed. The following table presents the annual assessment plan for Grade 10.

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;

• 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

CODE

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

7

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/

National

Teacher SBA files and a sample of evidence of learner performance

must be moderated once a year.

(10)

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.

13

• 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)

15

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√

• Interpretation I√

• Line of Argument LOA

17

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.

Task 1: Source-based OR essay

ADDENDUM

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.

[From: https://classroom.synonym.com/caused-downfall-feudalism-16285.html .Acessed on 15 Febryary 2019.]

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.

[From: https://www.livescience.com/2497-black-death-changed-world.htm. Accessed on 15 February 2019.]

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. [From: https://dailyhistory.org/. Accessed on 15 February 2019.]

ADDENDUM

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.

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

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]

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.

[From In Search Of History Grade 10 page 112]

35

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

[From South Africa History Online]

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.
