Our papers consist of three sections, as prescribed by CAPS, namely:
Section A (25 marks) • All questions are compulsory • Questions test understanding and factual knowledge • Questions are a combination of three or more types of questions, such as:
multiple choice, true and false, matching columns, true or false, missing words, or questions that require learners to list, what and why.
Section B (25 marks) • All questions are compulsory • Questions are knowledge based, and test knowledge and skills gained. • Questions are open-ended, scenario- or source based, and include case study. Questions.
Section C (20 marks) • Learners should answer two of the three questions • Questions focus on the application of knowledge and skills. • Learners must solve problems, make decisions or give advice.
In this Teacher’s Guide you will find exemplar examinations at the end of Term 2 (see pages 97–104) and Term 4 (see pages 148–154). Learners can use these for revision and to prepare for their examinations. The memoranda of these papers are also given. In Section 5 you will find a mid-year exam, as well as an end-of-year examination that you can use or adapt for formal assessment. The memoranda are also included.
Written tasks
Learners must complete one written task in the first term of each grade. The written task can be one of the following: • Design and making: This task entails the creation of an actual product. The actual
• Case study: In the case study, learners will be presented with a situation (either real or fictional). They will have to apply the knowledge they've gained during the term to complete this task.

• Assignment: The assignment will test the knowledge, skills and values obtained by learners, and their application of these. It is less open-ended than a project. Learner will be asked to solve a problem and/or make decisions. They will have to consolidate and apply the knowledge they have gained in the term.
product is only the final step in the process. Learners will be expected to design the product, make it, and write a description of it. This task will be completed over a period of time (for example, two or three weeks) with some teaching time allocated to the task. Learners will be expected to complete the assignment on their own.
