HOW TO USE THE WORK SCHEDULE

This work schedule is an official WORKING DOCUMENT and must be available during school visits and moderation to monitor teaching
progress.
• Enter the dates for each week in the week column.
• Use the work schedule in conjunction with the CAPS document to draw up a day-by-day planning (lesson plan) for each week/cycle of the term.
• Once the content has been completed, write in the actual dates and sign that the work has been completed in the Date completed column.
• During the planning process, enter the resources on the work schedule, e.g. textbook page numbers, websites, etc. (Be specific)
• Then enter the daily and or formal assessment in the relevant column on the work schedule. – minimum of 4 activity tasks per week topic
• In the Reflection column, write notes to yourself on the teaching strategy, challenges, etc. for the following year or for managers to see.
• Once the content has been completed, tick off each sub section and sign that the work has been completed in the Date completed column.

COMPULSORY TEACHING PREPARATION (previously referred to as lesson plans)

All teachers MUST produce evidence of a day-by-day planning for each week/cycle of the term.
The planning can be in ANY format, e.g. in a time table method, diary, template, notebook, etc.
This work schedule document will be accepted as evidence of planning, PROVIDED all relevant information as stipulated below, is entered in the relevant columns. Note: the informal
assessment done in class by learners must reflect this planning. Learners must apply the content in various formats that include worksheets, spider diagrams, etc. Note taking is NOT an
application task as EACH learner must have their own textbook. Each activity task must have a topic heading where the topic starts and a subheading for the specific activity as well as a date the
task was completed. Learners must do a MINIMUM of FOUR activities per week (± 3 pages). Activities need to indicate that the learners are able to apply the content that was taught.
Evidence of teaching preparation must be brief and concise and must contain the following FIVE elements:
• The day and date.
• The grade.
• The topic to be taught
• Activities for the lesson; (e.g. class debate, class test, written activity from textbook, class quiz, role play, etc.).
• Relevant page numbers in the text book or past questions. (Teachers may use the TIME TABLE BLOCK method as explained in CAPS training.)

 TOURISM WORK SCHEDULE Page 5 of 17 GRADE 10 2026 – 14 January Start

Marking and moderation of learner tasks

Marking:

The teacher will mark in red pen.

On the front page of the learner task the teacher writes ONLY the RAW SCORE the candidate achieved in the task out of the TOTAL for the task
in RED pen.

The teacher signs and dates next to the red pen mark.

Moderation:

The school level moderator (Departmental Head/Subject Head etc.) will moderate in GREEN pen.

On the front page of the learner task the moderator writes the RAW SCORE the candidate achieved in the task out of the TOTAL for the task in
GREEN pen.

The moderator will also convert the raw score mark depending on the task. The moderator will write the CONVERTED MARK for the candidate
total in GREEN pen as a second mark.

The moderator signs and dates next to the GREEN pen marks.

All subsequent moderation at district or provincial level will also indicate 2 marks – the raw score and the converted mark and sign and date – but
in the appropriate colour pen – orange pen and pink pen respectively.

To summarise – in all batches of fully marked scripts, only those candidates that had been moderated will indicate 2 marks.

The teacher mark in RED needs to be recorded for all candidates on the SASAMS system, except in cases where teacher error of marks
needs to be corrected as indicated on the moderation report. Because moderation is always a small sample, any issue found must be checked in
the whole batch in all scripts to ensure fair addressing and correction is done.
