Page 1 of 12 EDGEFIELD SECONDARY SCHOOL 4E5N SOCIAL STUDIES PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION MARKING SCHEME 1a) Study Source A. What is the cartoonist’s message? Explain your answer using details from the source. Target skill: Inference (Message) [5] L1 Surface description of the source but no valid inference e.g. Source A shows me two people walking along the streets, one in a burqa and the other in a bikini. One says “Everything covered but her eyes, what a cruel male-dominated culture!” whereas the other says “Nothing covered but her eyes, what a cruel male-dominated culture!” 1m L2 Answers based on misinterpretation of the source e.g. Source A tells me that people react to people wearing the burqa with suspicion. This is evident from how the individual in bikini is thinking “Everything covered but her eyes, what a cruel male -dominated culture!” rather than saying it out loud. This means that while nothing is said verbally, there remains to be a lot of suspicion and distrust between those who wear and those who don’t wear the burqa. 2m L3 Sub–Message: People reacts negatively/ expect everyone else to be like them e.g. Source A tells me that the reactions of the people are negative. This is evident from how the woman in the swimsuit thinks poorly of the person in the burqa, and vice versa. While the woman in the swimsuit says “Everything covered but her eyes, what a cruel male-dominated culture!” the individual in the burqa says “Nothing covered but her eyes, what a cruel male-dominated culture!” This tells me that both parties assume the worst of each other and expect each other to conform to their own cultural standards and norm. 3m L4 Message: People react because they do not understand/ lack mutual understanding of different cultures/ have different definitions or cultural norms Award 5 marks for more fully developed answers. e.g. Source A tells me that people react negatively/ hypocritically towards those wearing the burqa because of their lack of understanding/ do not understand the different cultures and norms of other societies. This is firstly evident from the two individuals thinking poorly of each other and how the other party failed their own standards and definitions. The evidence also shows that the individuals do not speak or confront each other in words. This tells me that they do not give themselves or the other party a chance to clarify for better understanding and as such the reactions will continue to be negative. 4–5m

Page 2 of 12 1b) Study Source B. Why did Senator Brandis respond in this manner? Explain your answer. Target skill: Inference (Purpose) [6] L1 Description of source (i.e. no valid inference) e.g. Senator Brandis responded that he was “not going to pretend to ignore the stunt that you have tried to pull today by arriving in parliament dressed in a burqa when we all know that you are not a follower of the Islamic faith”. Note: Answers that are phrased without placing Senator Brandis as the subject (e.g. “The purpose of Source B is…”) will be awarded 0 marks for not addressing the question. 1m L2 Based on Provenance, with explanation e.g. Senator Brandis responded in this manner because he is the Leader of the Government in the Australian Parliament-Senate. Given his role, he is expected to speak against any form of hate language or action in the country. Note: Answers that do not provide an explanation will not be awarded this level. Based on Context-Content e.g. Senator Brandis responded in this manner because he had just witnessed an outrageous political stunt by Senator Hanson who came into Parliament - Senate wearing a burqa, and as such needed to respond in equal measure to the act. 2m L3 Message: Criticise/ Condemn/ Critical of Senator Hanson’s actions or for disrespecting the Islamic faith Award 4 marks for more fully developed answers. e.g. Senator Brandis responded harshly in condemning/ criticising/ being critical of Senator Hanson’s actions. Senator Hanson had just arrived into parliament “dressed in a burqa when we all know that [she is] not a follower of the Islamic faith”. This tells me that Senator Hanson did this for political reasons rather than for personal religious reasons. Doing so also risked losing the “vital” cooperation that the Australian Muslim population could offer “[the] intelligence and law enforcement work ”. As such, Senator Brandis responded harshly against Senator Hanson’s actions. Answers based solely on intended outcome of the source Award 4 marks for more fully developed answers. e.g. Senator Brandis wants Senator Hanson to apologise to parliament because of her distasteful actions in parliament. 3–4m L4 Purpose Award 6 marks for more fully developed answers. e.g. Senator Brandis criticised/ c ondemned/ responded harshly to Senator Hanson [Message] to persuade [Verb] Senator Hanson [Audience] to reflect on what she had just done in Parliament and how distasteful that was, a s evident from “You ought to be ashamed of yourself for this uncalled for behaviour”, and have her apologise to parliament [Intended Outcome]. 5–6m

Page 3 of 12 OR e.g. Senator Brandis responded in this manner to convince [Verb] Parliament/ Members of Parliament [Audience] that such acts, such as the stunt performed by Senator Hanson has not place in Australia [Message] so that they will support him in responding to such hateful actions [Intended Outcome]. OR e.g. Senator Brandis criticised/ c ondemned/ responded harshly to Senator Hanson [Message] to convince [Verb] the larger Australian population [Audience] that Parliament and/or the government does not tole rate such distasteful and hateful behaviour [Message] so that they will continue to trust and support the government/ system/ Parliament [Intended Outcome]. Note: Answers without intended outcome will be awarded L3. 1c) Study Source C and Source D. To what extent would the Singaporean professor agree with the Moroccan woman? Explain your answer. Target skill: Comparison (C&C) [7] L1 No valid comparison / Description of source Note: Answers without root word will be awarded 0 marks. Note: Answers that do not place the Singaporean professor and the Moroccan woman as the subjects (e.g. “Source C agrees with Source D in telling me…) will be awarded 0 marks for not addressing the question. 1m L2 False Matching e.g. The Singaporean professor will not agree with the Moroccan woman because he talks about the Malay/Muslim community turning away from their Malay cultural roots and towards Arabic cultures and lifestyles, but the Moroccan woman does not say anything about this. Disagree based on superficial acceptance of Context e.g. The Singaporean professor will disagree with the Moroccan woman because they are each talking about different contexts/ things happening in different parts of the world. The Singaporean professor is talking about how Singaporeans are affected by the wear ing of the burqa whereas the Moroccan woman is talking about how Moroccans are affected. 2m L3 Agree based on Message Award 4 marks for more fully developed answers. e.g. The Singaporean professor will agree with the Moroccan woman because both tell me that wearing the burqa is a personal choice and expression of one’s self-identity. The Singaporean professor states that “ Malays are evidently more comfortable wearing Arabic -style garments compared to their tr aditional baju Melayu (Malay cultural clothes)”. This tells me that the Malay community is choosing Arabic -style clothes over their cultural clothes due to personal 3–4m
