INTRODUCTION The 18 Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement subjects which consist of practical components 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, Technical Mathematics  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 conducted up to the end of September. The PAT allows for learners to be assessed on the skills they have acquired during the weekly practical lessons and the practical examinations in Grades 10 to 12. 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 differ from subject to subject.  During the practical assessment task, the learner must demonstrate his/her knowledge and practical ability/skills to produce quality articles focusing on workmanship and suitability for selling.  The school and the learner may choose to knit OR crochet.  The practical assessment task for Grade 12 for Consumer Studies, with the Knitting or Crocheting practical option, complete a practical examination of EIGHT (8) HOURS.  Learners work individually during the practical examination for the PAT.  The practical examination for the PAT takes place in Term 3  Each learner will either knit OR crochet an article in the practical examination. 2. MARK ALLOCATION  The total mark allocation of the PAT is 100 marks.  The marks for the PAT form part of the end-of-year assessment in Term 4.  The province will provide separate computerised mark sheets, one for SBA and one for the PAT.  The mark allocation is indicated as follows: Practical examination 100 Final mark for PAT 100 Copyright reserved Please turn over

Turn and purl these 3 stitches, purling the next stitch on the needle along with the first new stitch. 3. Turn and cast off the first 2 stitches (k2, pass first stitch over). 4. Knit the 3rd stitch with the next stitch ready to be cast off and cast off the 3rd stitch. 5. Pass the last stitch on your needle over the next stitch waiting to be cast off. You have cast off 3 stitches and have one point. Repeat, beginning with k1, yo, k1 in the stitch you passed over in step 5. NOTE: There will be a lot of ends to work in due to all the colour changes. If the teacher uses a home-made pattern, an instruction sheet must be included. 10. CONCLUSION On completion of the practical assessment task, learners should be able to demonstrate their understanding of the industry, enhance their knowledge, skills, values and reasoning abilities as well as establish connections to life outside the classroom and address real-world challenges. The PAT furthermore develops learners' life skills and provides opportunities for learners to engage in their own learning. Copyright reserved
