INTRODUCTION The 17 Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement subjects which contain a practical component all include a practical assessment task (PAT). These subjects are: • AGRICULTURE: Agricultural Management Practices, Agricultural Technology • ARTS: Dance Studies, Design, Dramatic Arts, Music, Visual Arts • SCIENCES: Computer Applications Technology, Information Technology; Technical Sciences • SERVICES: Consumer Studies, Hospitality Studies, Tourism • TECHNOLOGY: Civil Technology, Electrical Technology, Mechanical Technology and Engineering Graphics and Design A practical assessment task (PAT) mark is a compulsory component of the final promotion mark for all candidates offering subjects that have a practical component and counts 25% (100 marks) of the end-of-the-year examination mark. The PAT is implemented across the first three terms of the school year. This is broken down into different phases or a series of smaller activities that make up the PAT. The PAT allows for learners to be assessed on a regular basis during the school year and it also allows for the assessment of skills that cannot be assessed in a written format, e.g. test or examination. It is therefore important that schools ensure that all learners complete the practical assessment tasks within the stipulated period to ensure that learners are resulted at the end of the school year. The planning and execution of the PAT differs from subject to subject. • During the practical assessment task the learner must demonstrate his/her knowledge and practical ability/skills to produce knitted and crocheted articles focusing on suitability for selling. • The practical assessment task for Consumer Studies for Grade 12 consists of two practical examinations of 8 HOURS each. Learners perform these practical examinations individually. o Term 2: Practical examination1 Learners will crochet the article selected for the micro-enterprise used for the project in term 1 in practical examination 1. o Term 3: Practical examination 2 Learners will knit an article in practical examination 2. 2. MARK ALLOCATION • Each exam consists of 100 marks. The mark for the final practical assessment task is obtained by combining the marks for the two exams as indicated below: Practical examination: term 2 100 Practical examination: term 3 100 Total 200 ÷ 2 Final mark for PAT 100 • The marks for the PAT are part of the end-of-the-year assessment. • The province will provide two separate computerised mark sheets, one for SBA and one for the PAT. After the marks have been captured both mark sheets must be signed by the teacher, principal and moderator. Copyright reserved Please turn over

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PRACTICAL EXAMINATIONS Consumer Studies is a choice subject with five practical options. If the school chooses to offer Consumer Studies as a subject and selects the knitting and crochet practical option, the equipment and funds necessary to conduct the PAT, as well as the specified number of practical lessons are the responsibility of the school as specified in the CAPS document. Ensure the following: • A suitable classroom with the necessary equipment must be available: tables, two or more ironing boards and irons, scissors (one for each learner), equipment for measuring and marking, equipment for knitting/crocheting the articles. • A minimum of R80 up to a maximum of R150 per learner for EACH of the two practical examinations is needed to make the required articles, besides the funding required for the SBA practical lessons. • A number of learners can do the examinations simultaneously, according to the number of workstations and resources available to complete the examinations comfortably. 4.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Consumer Studies 22 DBE/PAT 2019 NSC (Production of Knitted and Crocheted Items) INSTRUCTIONS TENSION: 22 sts and 30 rows = 10 cm over stocking stitch USING 4 mm NEEDLES. For best results it is essential to obtain the correct tension. If there are too few stitches on test swatch, use thinner needles; if there are too many stitches, use thicker needles. ABBREVIATIONS: alt = alternate; beg = begin(ning); cont = continue; dec = decrease; *foll(s) = follow(s)ing; g st = garter stitch; inc(s) = increase(s); k = knit; patt(s) = pattern(s); p = purl; rep = repeat; rem = remain(ing); R(W)S = right(wrong) side; R(W)SF = right(wrong) side facing; RW = ribwise; st(s) = stitches; SKTPO = slip one, knit two together, pass slipped stitch over; tog – together; yfd = yarn forward. STITCHES USED: Single rib pattern: 1st row: RSF, k1, *p1, k1, rep from * to end. 2nd row: work sts as facing (= k the k sts and p the p sts) Stripe pattern: *2 rows B, 2 rows C, 2 rows A, rep from * Garter stitch: K every row. Beg at centre of foot. Using 3,25 mm needles and A, cast on 47 sts and work in single rib patt for 7 rows. Next row, inc row: K1, *inc into next st, k1, rep from * to end of row = 70 sts. Change to 4 mm needles and cont straight in g st and stripe patt until 25 ridges have been worked ending with a WSF. Change to 3,25 mm needles and A. Next row, dec row: K1, *k2tog, k1, rep from * to end of row = 47 sts. Work in single rib patt for 7 rows then cast off all sts RW. TO MAKE UP: With RS to inside, fold knitted piece with ribbed edges tog. Sew ribbed edge tog. Sew row ends on one side tog, leaving other side open. Turn RS out.
