Grade 12 PAT Phase 3

I have just been looking at some Phase 3 of the Gr 12 PAT. Here are some general comments.

1. The graphs must be woven into the story/discussion. The graphs must NOT be in a section on their own. The graphs must help explain the discussion.
2. There should be no need for any material in the report to come from any web site or copied from anywhere. The report is the result of an investigation into a problem. It is the ‘result’.
3. The report should look professional! I have seen too many spelling mistakes, and the font in a document should be the same for all sections, and a heading 3 is smaller than a heading 1!
4. A caption of a graph is not a story, and should not pretend to be a story. A caption is a ‘heading’ for an image. You talk about the evidence of the graph in the body of the text as part of the story.
5. The conclusion should draw all the findings together and is a summary of all the work, and end with a final sentence giving the verdict (slotsom).

Gr 12 PAT Phase 3

Here is a link to the PPT I am using for the Grade 12 PAT. For many of the learners they are now completing a crash course in PATting - this PPT has been useful. My learners have to hand in next week as we start Prelims exams on 3 August. I do not want to upload any examples, as last year my learners' work was found throughout the country!

Gr 12 PAT - Phase 3

Have a look at 3 examples of Phase 3 of the PAT - the works of Caswell, Meiring and Miller. They received marks of 37, 39 and 33 out of 40 respectively.

Gr 12 PAT Phase 3

I had a brainwave for Phase 3.

The learners have all the information / evidence they have found in their LONG document arranged in a suitable order.

Have a table or list of all the questions at the BEGINNING of the document.

1. IN the long document repeat each question with its accompanying answer. LINK between the questions at the beginning and their questions/answers in the body using Bookmarks and Hyperlinks (Gr 12 textbook, page 118-119)
   
2. Add information in a small table under EACH question/answer in the body of the document with respect to the

• Evaluation of the trustworthiness of the websites or information
• Relevance of the information
• Indication of which information will be used
• Reasons why this information will help solve the problem

of EACH question.

Submit in digital AND print/hard copy format.
