Gr 12 PAT Phase 1

I introduced the PAT last week to my class. This week I am going to help them create their Phase 1 document based the following points.
  1. I will ‘talk’ about what is a PAT.
  2. I will talk about points 1 and 2 of page 2 of Learner Section of the PAT.
  3. They will write down statistics to prove that there is a resource problem in their area.
  4. We will look at Phase 1 on page 5 of the Learner Section of the PAT.
  5. I will show them my Phase 1 PPT.
  6. I will show them my main headings/topics on how to deal with the printer in my room.
  7. I will give them the word template linked here, similar to the table in the Phase 1 PPT.
  8. They will enter their headings/topics on the template.
  9. They will create questions beginning with What? When? Where? Who? How many? Etc. to complete the table, to solve their problem, for ALL their headings/topics on the template.
  10. They will create questions beginning with Why? How? Etc. to complete the table, to solve their problem, for ALL their headings/topics on the template.
  11. They will create questions beginning with If, What if? Etc. to complete the table, to solve their problem, for ALL their headings/topics on the template.
  12. They will create questions beginning with Would it be better if? What recommendation? How can I determine? What would be the best way? etc. to complete the table, to solve their problem, for ALL their headings/topics on the template.
  13. They will then indicate where to find the answers for all their problems – they will look in many sources! - electronic encyclopedia such as Encarta, printed media such as magazines, brochures, newspapers, books, etc., opinion polls/surveys, interviews, e-mails, SMSs, telephone calls, etc.
  14. They will then indicate how that question will help solve the problem!
  15. Someone will then check their work.
  16. The learners will check the rubric making sure that they get full marks.
  17. They will submit their individual work.

I have some questions:
How long would it take to complete phase 1? I looks like a lot of time needed?
Is it worth spending this much time on phase 1 only?
How long will it take to complete the next phases?
Can we afford to spend so much time on PAT only?

Dear Annie

I think a lot of time needs to be given for completing the PAT as it counts 25% of the final mark which in itself is much more than TASK1 and TASK2. Try to complete a Phase per term. That is my advice. Phase 1 is important as this will guide the way to the next phase.
