Total for Question 2: [50] Total for Assessment 3: [100] © Unisa 2023 1. The purpose of this question is to determine whether you can interpret CAPS and are able to plan lessons for a two-week cycle. 2. You need to provide ALL the resources that will be used during the two-week cycle, and copy or paste them into your assessment. 3. Consult CAPS to see what the time allocation for the four skills are. Work on periods or lessons of 30 minutes each. 4. You may not copy the activities (e.g., questions and activities) from the textbooks for Grade 4 learners in your assessment – you need to develop your own, creative and original activities. 5. Indicate what activities you are going to perform, and what learners will be expected to do during each lesson. If necessary and applicable, refer to the pre-, while- or post-activity that will be performed. 6. Describe the lesson procedure you are going to follow. Explain how the lesson will start, all the way through to the conclusion. Think how the context will be set, and how and when your target language and grammar will be introduced, and describe those aspects in detail. 7. Think about who (teacher and learners) will be doing what and when, and consider the class materials (resources, media or texts) that will be required to allow these actions to happen. 8. Pay attention to ALL the aspects in the above excerpt from CAPS. In other words, if it states “Labels and/or completes visual text”, you need to include or describe the visual text the learners will have to label. If it states “Uses information from a visual text to write information text”, you need to refer to the writing process and how you would take learners through this process so that they can come up with an information text that they have written based on a visual text. Likewise, if it states “Does comprehension activity on the text (oral or written)”, you need to include the comprehension activities and questions. If it states “Works with words or sentences”, you need to explain what words and sentences you would teach, and what you would let the learners do with the words and sentences. 9. In the case of “Spelling”, you need to explain how you would teach spelling, whether you would teach spelling rules, or whether you would use the dictionary to teach spelling, etc. The spelling activities you do, will depend on the text you have chosen for the two-week cycle. 10. Make sure that the language skills are taught in an integrated way (e.g., the listening activities are linked to the writing activities). 11. When looking at your planning for weeks 7–8, clearly show exactly what you are going to do during each lesson. 12. Include all assessment and homework tasks. 13. Submit an overview of your teaching plans.
