Barebones

These workbooks are designed in such a way that:

• thinking, understanding and terminology-acquisition are focused on.

• they will be notes covering the entire CAPS curriculum once they are completed.

• for the most part they could be completed through referring to the glossary and applying logical thought, rather than needing to refer to a text book. However, it would be far better, for learning, to refer to as many resources as possible.

Some features of these workbooks:

• their systematic, guided structure is intended to support learning even if there is little access to other resources and even if the learner has poor language competence, while also summarizing learning even if there is much access to other resources and even if the learner has strong language competence.

• the interactive PDFs have links to movies on each topic at the appropriate places. For these to work, internet access is required.

Limitations of the workbooks:

• The workbooks are not aimed at developing paragraph-writing skills. Other resources should be used to develop these important skills.

The workbooks (and memos) come in 3 formats. All are full-colour:

• paper

• laminated (allows for write with a white-board marker, and wipe, for reusability)

• interactive pdf (single license, non-printable, password secured): For some fields options are given in drop-down lists. Works on any device (cell phone / tablet / computer). Works offline, but links to external resources require internet connectivity.
