Grade 10 is a very short year. Although CAPS makes provision for 10 weeks per term, the Department of Basic Education’s school calendar for 2017 does not necessarily allow for this division.

Learners are advised to: 1. start immediately with the next term’s work as soon as a term’s work has been completed. This will ensure enough time for thorough study and revision.

2. make sure of the subject matter that has to be completed each term in preparation of the term tests.

Study tips

You can use any study method to master Consumer Studies, but to obtain good results, the following principles are advised:

1. Overview

2. Questions 3. Read and learn 4. Recite

5. Check

6. Repeat

 Obtain an overview of the work to be studied.  In other words, read through everything quickly to see what the work is about.  E.g. chapter on meat – structure, purchasing guidelines, cooking methods, meat cuts, etc.  Prepare questions about the work that you can use to study.  Why? How? What? Where? Who? When? Which?  E.g. What is frying? When is it done? Who does it? With what is this done?  Read and study these questions very carefully.  E.g. you can now answer all the questions and understand what the term frying means.  Say the questions and answers out loud without using your book.  E.g. What is frying? Say the answer out loud.  If you can understand, know and repeat the work, check your answers against the content in the study guide. Keep studying until you remember everything.  E.g. What is frying? If you cannot remember exactly, take your book and see what the correct answer is. Try repeatedly until you can remember the work without using you book.  Repeat the work every day.  E.g. repeat the questions and answers out loud every day. (You hear your name every day and you will therefore not forget what people call you – thus, this method guarantees SUCCESS!)

Practical subjects require that skills need to be practised. The more you practise, the better you will perform in Consumer Studies, with e.g. practical lessons, industrial hours (as explained in the portfolio book), etc.

Make contact with the people in the industry or a school in your town/city that can offer help.

It is important that all portfolio assignments are completed and neatly done.

The PAT comprises 25% of the promotion mark and has to be completed to receive your Grade 10 results.

Work hard and do not procrastinate with the PAT. Impaq has subject matter experts available to help you. Make use of their expertise to improve your results. (Visit Impaq’s website at www.impaq.co.za for the subject support list that will provide you with the e-mail addresses of each subject matter expert).

It is beneficial to buy good utensils, especially if you want to pursue a career in the consumer industry after Grade 12, e.g. a good chef’s knife.

Participate in competitions at e.g. Pick n Pay.

Study the summary of the contents (following each chapter) as well as the examination questions. The answers are supplied in the facilitator’s guide (teacher’s guide). Page numbers are indicated in the work schedule.
