English First Additional Language Exam Revision Facilitators Guide Introduction: Mindset Network is a South African-based non-profit organisation that was founded in 2002. We develop and distribute quality and contextually relevant educational resources for use in the schooling, health and vocational sectors. Materials are distributed through various technology platforms including broadcast, the Internet, (www.mindset.co.za/learn), and on DVDs. The materials are made available in video, print and in computer-based multimedia formats. As an organisation, Mindset is committed to innovation. Last year we successfully ran a series of broadcast events leading up to, and in support of the 2009 NSC examinations, and we have expanded the programme in 2010. This year, we launched Learn Xtra, a series of programmes, broadcast on Saturdays, to give grade 12 learners xtra help in preparing for their examinations in mathematics, physical sciences, life sciences and mathematical literacy. Now we are proud to announce our second edition of Matric Revision which will broadcast in September, and again in October / November. The programme has been expanded to support learners in six subjects: mathematics, physical sciences, life sciences, mathematical literacy, English 1st additional language and accounting. The solutions to selected questions from previous examination papers in these subjects will be supported on the Mindset Learn broadcast channel, (channel 319 on DStV), and on Top Learn. Mindset Network, with the support of our partners, is providing direct support to a number of sites across the country where facilitated study events will be hosted for learners. These events will aim to assist learners in correctly and adequately preparing for their examinations, while also offering the opportunity for any last minute help with content. We would like to acknowledge the support of principals and educators who have joined us in running this campaign. Thank you for giving up your time over the weekends leading up to the final examinations. We do appreciate your efforts and trust that through this intervention, the learners of 2010 will benefit and achieve the results they are hoping for. We would appreciate your feedback and comments on the Matric Revision programme. Contact: Tel: Fax: Email: Schooling Content Manager 0861006463 0861016463 info@mindset.co.za

English First Additional Language Exam Revision Facilitators Guide Guidelines for facilitating The use of TV in education has been well researched and documented. Many studies have revealed that the power of the medium has helped learners to become motivated about learning. However, it is important to recognise that TV is a passive medium, and learners need to engage actively to get maximum benefit. That is why the role of the teacher is crucial. At Mindset our educational philosophy is to use a range of resources to help improve learning. In this process we actively partner with teachers who play an important role in what is presented to learners. In many schools teachers are using DVDs and computers where the transmission can be stopped at strategic points. However, for live broadcasts this is not possible. To help you facilitate and use the resources provided, we need to find different strategies. Here are some suggestions you may want to try: Arrange the learners so that they can work in small groups of 4 6. Ensure that they sit in a semi-circle, facing the TV. There needs to be room for you to move between groups. We suggest that you join a different group for each new question. The questions given in the session are in the learner notes. It would be best if learners could attempt the questions before watching the broadcast. If this is not possible, learners need to attempt to answer the question while it is presented on TV. If they are unsure of how to proceed, they should watch to see the answer. Encourage them to write down the solution presented, and discuss this with their group quietly. If learners do not understand what is being presented, encourage them first to ask their peers quietly. This will help the learners who do understand, to explain concepts to those who dont. When a group of learners are not following the presentation, encourage them to attract your attention without calling out. Some learners may not keep up with the pace of the questions being presented. You will need to identify the slower workers and get them to work on their own without watching the TV all the time. Encourage learners to watch the repeat broadcast. Be aware that it is not realistic to expect learners to stay focused for the whole day. We have, therefore, scheduled short breaks between topics. Please encourage your learners to use these breaks to stand and stretch, or visit the bathroom. A lunch break has also been scheduled. It is essential that learners use this time to have something to eat and drink. Taking regular breaks will ensure that learners are able to concentrate for longer. The solutions to questions are provided in the learner materials. Encourage learners to attempt the questions themselves after watching the broadcast, and using the solutions only to check that they have the correct solution. Copying out the answers will not help them prepare for the exam.

English First Additional Language Exam Revision Facilitators Guide Topic 1 Comprehension and Summary Question 1 Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow. THE GEARBOX GOGO 1. While many women are clamouring for the glamour of South Africa's boardrooms, some are happy to get their hands dirty with some tough work. 2. Ntombifuthi Khowa (48), a mother of one from Lindelani, near Durban, is leaving men shocked by her skills. She can open up a gearbox, repair its parts and put it back together with ease. Various parts of gearboxes line her mini-scrapyard at shack No.10. It is the home she shares with her husband of 28 years, Fanisa, a former taxi boss. Fanisa taught his wife how to fix gearboxes. 3. 'I saw that she had a passion for this job, as she would always volunteer to help me when I was fixing the gearboxes of my taxis. I was also tired of teaching the local boys the job as they soon left to work for car dealers in town. I knew that teaching my wife would help put food on the table, as I was no longer able to run my business after becoming paralysed,' said Fanisa. 4. 'All my life I had ploughed the field with other women. But today I am an expert and now run the family business,' said Khowa. A busy woman, Ntombifuthi still finds time for her duties as mother and wife. 5. 'I still cook, clean, do the washing for my family and even baby-sit my granddaughter, four-year-old Nobuhle. I usually fix the gearboxes at night when everyone is sleeping and after I have finished all my chores for the day, said Ntombifuthi. 6. Such is Ntombifuthi's talent that she is wanted by several car dealers. She was once employed by a Springfield car dealer but left so she could be at home to take care of her husband. 7. Ntombifuthi says that some men bring their wives and girlfriends to watch her do the job hoping they will learn a thing or two, but the women do not seem interested. Instead, she says, they look down upon her as she is always dirty, her clothes stained with oil and grease. 8. 'I once went to a function and a woman remarked she was so surprised to see me all clean and dressed up. [Adapted from an article in Sunday Tribune, 10 August 2008] 1.1 Refer to paragraph 1. What does this paragraph suggest about the types of careers women prefer these days? (2)

1.2 Explain the meaning of the following expressions as used in the passage: 1.2.1 'to get their hands dirty' (par 1) (1) 1.2.2 'put food on the table' (par 3) (1) 1.3 Explain why Ntombifuthi Khowa is 'leaving men shocked by her skills' (par 2). (2)

Question 2 With food prices rising, it is becoming more and more important to shop smartly. Being a smart shopper means using your money and time wisely. Use the passage below to compile a list of SEVEN points on how to shop smartly. INSTRUCTIONS 1. List SEVEN points in full sentences using no more than 70 words. 2. Number your sentences from 1 to 7. 3. Write only ONE point per line. 4. Use your OWN words. 5. Indicate the total number of words you have used in brackets at the end of your summary. 1. Have a list in your hand while you shop, so you won't forget anything and you won't buy any unnecessary items. Shop at a store where you can get everything you need under one roof, from breakfast cereals to beauty products. You can pay certain accounts, e.g. your electricity and telephone accounts, at some supermarkets. This will save you time and, because you dont have to go to different stores, you can also save on travelling costs. 2. Decide on how much you are willing to spend and stick to your plan. Look out for leaflets available in stores or in newspapers, advertising all the current specials. These leaflets can be a handy guide to help you save money. Planning your meals around the specials advertised in these leaflets will help you to stick to your budget. 3. Fresh vegetables are generally cheaper than processed and prepared ones. Certain veggies can be frozen right after being cut, so if you see any specials on these vegetables don't hesitate to buy in bulk. 4. Buy bread or rolls and get some cold meat from the deli section to make a nourishing lunch to take to work or school. You can save a lot of money by not buying a sandwich or snacks. Making your own healthy lunch is not only good for the wallet, but also for the waistline, so it's a win-win situation. 5. Certain stores carry house brands of various products such as detergents, cereals and dairy products. These are often cheaper than, and as good as, leading brand names, so it makes sense to buy house brands. [Adapted from an article in Bona Magazine, September 2008] (10)

English First Additional Language Exam Revision Facilitators Guide Question 3 Read the passage (TEXT B) below and answer the questions that follow. 1. At one time or another, most of us will visit a craft or gift shop in South Africa. Many of the wonderful selection of products are labelled '100% handmade' or 'locally produced', the aim being to target the tourist market. But what do we know of the people who actually make these works of art? 2. If your interest lies in wire art, there is a very good chance that you will have looked at and perhaps purchased items made by talented artists within Streetwires. 3. Streetwires is one of the many success stories in empowering local craft workers. It is a social business organisation founded in 2000. They design, create and market unique wire and bead arts and crafts. 4. The history of wire art began when talented and creative children turned materials such as bits of old fence, tyres and metal into unique toys. A few crafters then developed wire art into an art form, and today artists make items which are ideal gifts for homes and offices. Streetwires has even made a wire and bead version of the International Space Station, which was presented to NASA by the South African government! 5. There are over 120 artists working from studios in Johannesburg and Cape Town. The artists at Streetwires use wire and beads to add vibrant, unlimited colour and form to our world. [Adapted from Sawubona, August 2008] 3.1 Refer to paragraph 1. 3.1.1 Explain the meaning of 'locally produced'. 3.1.2 In your view, why would tourists want to buy '100% handmade' items? 3.2
