This booklet introduces you to each of the subjects offered in Grades 10 –12 so that you know what to expect in the next three years . Study the descriptions of the subjects you have chosen and prepare for what lies ahead .

The Importance of TextbooksYour textbooks are very important tools to guide and assist you in learning . You need to use them well and look after them so that they last . You should have a textbook for each of your subjects to take home, do homework, and study for tests and exams .

Most subjects require some kind of equipment or workbooks . Make sure you know what is required for your selected subjects and that you bring to school whatever you need each day .

Assessment in Grades 10 – 12 Assessment is an important part of learning . It provides you with an opportunity to practise and apply what you are learning and it shows your teachers what you understand or where you need additional help .

In each of your seven subjects you will have tests, examinations, projects, tasks and homework assignments to complete each year . In some of the practical subjects you will also have to complete Practical Assessment Tasks also called PATS . It is very important that you complete all your assessment tasks because you learn best from your own hands on efforts . The more effort you put into everything you do, the more success you will achieve in all aspects of your life . Be sure to hand in all your tasks and homework on time . This will teach you time management which is a very important life skill .

All these tasks will count towards your end of year marks which are used to determine whether you are promoted to the next grade or not . Don’t get left behind!

Memory principlesBe selective• when you study . Select significant information . You cannot learn every detail . Make your own notes, focusing on what is most important .Associate• new information with what you already know . Visualise• . Try to create “stories” or “movies” in your mind .Recite• . Use your own words . Explain the information to a friend / family member . Go back and check for accuracy and additional details .

Memorising skills can be learned.There are many different skills you can learn to help you remember information . Here are some examples:

Mind maps •Cartoons, pictures, labelling •Rhymes and jingles – use words that rhyme to help you remember important facts•Word association, key words, flash cards•Creating acronyms: e .g . • RICE stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation (What to do when somebody is injured)Grouping or categorising – organize the information into logical clusters•

Memory – Use it or lose it! Memory strategies require practice and discipline .

Memory Tip 1: Pay attention and listen carefully in class

Make sure you understand the content of the subject . If not, ask the teacher for help .

Memory Tip 2: Make effective notes

In order for information to be stored in long-term memory, it first needs to pass through your short-term or working memory . This stage of memory is limited in the amount of information it can retain . Information you receive in class must be written down or you will forget it . When revising from your textbooks, seek out the important information and write it down . Organise it logically . Reduce it to key terms or a form that is easy to remember .

Memory Tip 3: Remember these three Rs:

Repeat, Relevant, Recent or Repeat, Repeat, Repeat

Memory Tip 4: Use mnemonics

Mnemonics are devices, using arbitrary, easy-to-remember associations, to help you remember information . Examples: sohcahtoa (used in trigonometry to memorize important information about the sine, cosine, and tangent) roygbiv (the colours of the rainbow in their correct order – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet)

Memory Tip 5: Generate examples

A very effective way of checking your own understanding is to generate examples related to concepts, situations, relationships, events or case studies . If you cannot do this, it is likely that you do not fully understand this aspect of the syllabus . Ask your teacher for help .

7

Memory Tip 6: Use visual images

Visualization of a concept, situation, relationship or sequence of events can be a very powerful way to learn . Create stories or movies in your mind, or make your own drawings, stick figures or cartoons .

Memory Tip 7: Make associations

Make connections between the new information and something familiar to you .

Memory Tip 8: Use rehearsal strategies

Practise retrieving information by reciting key ideas, predicting questions, practising problem-solving and testing yourself .

Effective Examination Writing TechniquesIf you start learning good examination writing techniques in Grade 10 you will have had lots of practice by the time you reach Grade 12 .

Exam Writing Tip 1: Read and understand the instructions

ALWAYS carefully read the INSTRUCTIONS at the beginning of the question paper .

Exam Writing Tip 2: Preview the question paper and allocate your writing time appropriately

Read through the whole examination paper before you begin writing . Note the number of questions and how many marks they are worth . Read over the questions before you start writing . This will assist in activating your memory . Decide which questions will be easier to do and which ones will take more time . Identify where you have choices among questions and within questions and decide which questions to answer . Allocate time for answering each question . Also allow for time to go over your answers and to make corrections . If you think of something as you preview, write it down immediately .

Exam Writing Tip 3: Tackle each question systematically

Read each question carefully, underlining key words, especially the verbs that tell you what to do .Plan the way you will answer the question and make a few notes on the steps you will take . This will provide you and the person marking the exam with an idea of how you attempted the question . This will also assist you with finding and correcting your mistakes .

Some questions may ask you to apply your knowledge . Write your answer in the format requested, e .g . an essay, a programme, a review, an interview, a letter, a calculation .

Exam Writing Tip 4: Write down something for every question

If all you can do is provide a definition, then do so . If you are running out of time, answer in point form, instead of complete sentences . Write down anything you know that is related to the question .

8

Exam Writing Tip 5: Set out your answers clearly

Write legibly so the marker can read it easily . Leave spaces between questions and always start a new section on a new page . Make sure you number your answers correctly according to the numbering on the question paper .

Exam Writing Tip 6: If you feel you are unable to answer a question, don’t panic and allow anxiety to affect how you are going to fare in the exam

Ask yourself “What do I need to know to answer this question?”, and start writing down your thoughts . Avoid negative thoughts . Focus on the task .

Exam Writing Tip 7: Review and make corrections

Take time to go over your answers . Do not change anything unless you are quite sure it is wrong . Check mathematical answers by performing reverse calculations . Look at the processes you used . Make sure you have provided answers for everything that was asked .

Exam Writing Tip 8: Stay until the end

Don’t leave until the exam invigilators throw you out! Sometimes, it takes a little more time for the information in your memory to “surface” . So use all the time you are given .

School Based Assessment (SBA) and Practical Assessment Tasks (PATs)The SBA and PATs prepare you for your final examinations . Make sure that you have handed in all your tasks . This will already give you a good chance of passing and doing well .
