Portfolio Task 1: Reflective Narrative on Creating Inclusive Social Sciences
Lessons (30 Marks) This task requires you to reflect on your own experience
of designing and delivering an inclusive Social Sciences lesson during your
teaching practice. Rather than creating a lesson plan, this task asks you to
narrate how you ensured inclusivity, learner participation, and diverse
learning needs were accommodated in your classroom based on the two
philosophies you studied in Learning Units 1.3 and 1.4. 1. Task instructions
(30) ▪ Write a reflective narrative (2–3 pages) describing a Social Sciences
lesson you taught where inclusivity was a key focus. ▪ Describe the topic of
the lesson, the grade, and the context of the school (e.g., rural, township,
multi-lingual classroom, etc.). ▪ Explain what inclusive strategies you used to
accommodate learners with different needs (e.g., language barriers, learning
difficulties, social background). ▪ Provide practical examples: ▪ How did you
support specific learners? ▪ How did your teaching materials or instructions
change to meet diverse needs? ▪ Attach any evidence you have (e.g.,
adapted materials, visuals used, learner work samples, photos of
differentiated group tasks, etc.). ▪ Reflect on what went well and what
challenges you experienced. ▪ Explain what you learned from this
experience and how it will influence your future teaching practice. Portfolio
Task 2: Reflective Analysis of Classroom Management (40 Marks) In this task,
you will observe a real-life classroom situation and reflect critically on how a
teacher establishes classroom expectations and builds learner relationships
on the first day of school. You will then apply this knowledge to a challenging
learner scenario relevant to South African schools. Watch the full video: The
First Day of High School – Establishing Classroom Expectations and Building
Relationships 1. You are a new Social Sciences teacher in a Grade 9 class at
a public school in South Africa. One learner refuses to participate in class,
regularly disrupts lessons, and ignores your instructions. Verbal warnings
, have had no effect. Your task is to analyse this situation and design a
professional response using two discipline models. (15) (a) What effective
classroom management strategies did the teacher in the video use? (b)
Which of these would you adopt or adapt for a South African context? (c)
What did the teacher do well to establish control and learner trust? 2. Apply
the following frameworks (as reflected in Learning Unit 5.3) in your response:
(10) (a) Three-Legged Pot: Analyse how parents, community environment,
and teacher conduct contribute to the problem or solution. (b) Spencer’s Six
Discipline Principles: Evaluate how these could guide your actions. Page 3 of
4 3. Design an Intervention Plan to solve the matter (5) ▪ Involve the learner,
parent/guardian, and school support team ▪ Aim for restorative discipline
(not punishment) ▪ Include realistic steps and follow-ups 4. Based on your
teaching practice experience in the South African school context, critically
reflect on (10) (a) How does your plan (in number 3) promote fairness,
consistency, and restorative discipline? (b) What would you do differently
from what is shown in the video on your first day? (c) What have you learned
from the video? Portfolio Task 3: Reflection on Assessment Planning (40
Marks) In this task, you are expected to critically reflect and analyse your
own lesson planning based on the feedback received from Assignment 3 on
Question 3. 1. Paste your marked Question 3 (Lesson Plan). (10) 2. Reflect on
your performance. Explain the sections where mistakes were identified (or
areas of improvement). (10) 3. Revise and submit your lesson plan with the
necessary corrections incorporated. (20) Portfolio Task 4: Assessment Design
and Moderation Task (60 Marks) Your Social Sciences HoD has asked you to
prepare an end-of-year examination for Grade 8 learners, covering both
Geography and History. The paper should include Bloom’s Taxonomy levels
and CAPS weightings, with a total of 50 marks. Twenty-five (25) marks
should assess content from all four terms of Geography, and the remaining
twenty-five (25) marks should assess content from all four terms of History.
1. Task Instructions: (50) ▪ Create a 50-mark formal assessment task with: ▪
Sources (Infographics, Pictures, Case-studies etc.,) ▪ 5–6 questions aligned
to CAPS cognitive level weightings (30% Easy, 50% Moderate, 20% Difficult)
▪ Marking guidelines or rubric ▪ Clearly labelled cognitive levels – Use the
example table below to summarise your CAPS cognitive level weighting. This
table must be your second page on your question paper immediately after
the instructions to learners. Page 4 of 4 Example: The table below outlines
the spread of cognitive levels addressed in this test. Cognitive level
