Unit Standard number 119469
Read/view, analyse and respond to a variety of
texts
Activity 1 (Page 34 &35)
Concept (SO 1) I understand this concept Questions that I still would like
to ask
Reading strategies appropriate YES SATISFIED
to the purposes for reading are
adopted.
Organisational features of texts YES SATISFIED
are identified. The role of each
of the features is explained in
relation to usefulness in making
meaning of readings and
viewing.
Synthesis of information from YES SATISFIED
texts, and generalisation of
patterns and trends, result in
appropriate conclusions about
purpose and audience.
Activity 2 (Page 41 & 42)
Directions:
For each set of sources listed below, place a checkmark next to the one that would be most useful for
finding information on the stated topic. Then, in the space provided, give a reason for your choice.
(I have highlighted my chosen answer)
1. Topic: fuel consumption of South African-made motor vehicles
Sources:
a. A newspaper article titled ―Fuel-Eating South African Cars
b. An encyclopedia article on ―Fuel Consumption of Automobile Engines
c. A research report in Car Magazine on South African vehicle performance
Reason:
I think a newspaper article will have the most useful findings as they are required to be unbiased and
factual as well as do research.
