Timetable and time management

According to CAPS, learners should spend 3 (three) hours per week on Social Sciences. A term of 10 weeks therefore gets 30 hours. The time allocation for History is therefore 15 hours per term of 10 weeks and Geography also 15 hours per term of 10 weeks. As a result, learners must spend 1½ hours per week on Geography, but you will find that some tasks take less time than others.

According to the study guide:

Term 1: There are 16 lessons for term 1. In a 10-week term, learners will have one Geography lesson per week, and in any six weeks two lessons for that week.

Term 2: There are seven lessons for term 2. In a 10-week term, learners will have one Geography lesson per week.

Term 3: There are 11 lessons for term 2. In a 10-week term, learners will have one Geography lesson per week, and a second lesson for one week only to address the eleventh lesson.

Term 4: There are 9 lessons for term 4. In a 10-week term, learners will have one Geography lesson per week. Since term 4 is usually very short, it will be beneficial for learners to complete two to three lessons per week. If possible, start with term 4’s lessons in term 3.
