TIMETABLE AND TIME MANAGEMENT

TIMETABLE AND TIME MANAGEMENT

According to CAPS policy, three hours per week must be allocated to Social Sciences. Therefore, 30 hours are allocated during a 10-week term. The time allocation is then 15 hours per 10-week term for History and 15 hours per 10-week term for Geography.

This means that learners have to devote 1½ hours a week to History, but you will find that some assignments may be completed faster than others.

Lessons are set out as follows:

Term 1: Nine lessons and some have activities – in a term of 10 weeks learners will have one History lesson per week while you also have to spend half an hour working on the History project (This project can be found in the portfolio book).

Term 2: Five lessons and some have activities – in a term of 10 weeks learners will have to do one History lesson per week.

Term 3: There are 14 lessons and some have activities – in a term of 10 weeks learners will have one History lesson per week and in four weeks of their choice two lessons during that week.

Term 4: There are 12 lessons and some have activities – in a term of 10 weeks learners will have one History lesson per week and in any two weeks, two lessons per week. But since Term 4 is very short, it will help a lot if learners could complete two to three lessons per week or, if possible, start with some of the lessons of Term 4 in Term 3.
