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

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
