the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes that will enable learners to
contribute to the economy and society. Additionally, it aims to develop learners who
are responsible, ethical, and environmentally conscious citizens.
3. Time allocation grid for one calendar week (template you can draw)
How to draw:
- Create a small table with 5 columns (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri) and about 6–7 rows
for time blocks.
- Label the rows with consecutive time blocks (for example: 08:00-08:50, 08:55-
09:40, 09:45-10:30, 10:45-11:30, 11:35-12:20, 12:25-13:10).
- In the cells for your subject, write the planned activity or leave blank to fill in after
you consult the CAPS.
- Ensure the total hours allocated to your subject in the week match the CAPS
guidance for your phase.
Sample ASCII grid you can copy or redraw:
- Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri
08:00-08:50 [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]
08:55-09:40 [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]
09:45-10:30 [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]
