15 HOW FOCUS LIFE SCIENCES CAN HELP YOUR TEACHING At the beginning of the workshop, you were required to rank the importance of the criteria that are considered important to most teachers when choosing a textbook. Focus Life Sciences books cover all of these criteria. Sequencing of Content according to the CAPS Focus Life Sciences books follow the exact sequence of the CAPS. Teachers are able to follow the sequence of the textbook and be confident that they have covered everything required by CAPS and in the correct order. Relevant and up to date content The authors of Focus Life Sciences books have ensured that the latest CAPS requirements are covered as well as the latest content required by the subject. Assessment tasks are all relevant to the age group and environments of the learners. Specific tasks required for Programme of Assessment e.g. Tests, Projects etc. Focus Life Sciences books include all the required tasks for the Programme of Assessment and the Teacher s Guide includes all of the guidelines and answers. These can also be used for revision, extension and expanded opportunities. Annual teaching plan according to the CAPS with term-by-term overview Focus Life Sciences books follow the exact sequence of the CAPS. They also provide a term planning tool which assists in annual and quarterly planning. Teacher s Guide which provides guidance and answers for Programme of Assessment Focus Life Sciences books have a Teacher s Guide that provides guidelines on how to use the assessments and how to mark them. Rubrics, memoranda and checklists are also provided where appropriate. 15

16 Variety of revision activities Focus Life Sciences books provide many different activities, which test knowledge and understanding on a variety of levels. Teachers are able to see the learners understanding of the content matter straight away. These activities are very practical and assess the content in the CAPS. There is a revision activity at the end of every chapter. Diagrams and pictures to explain content Focus Life Sciences books have many supporting diagrams and pictures to support the content. Focus Life Sciences in is full colour with eye- catching photographs. Remedial activities to support those learners that may need extra support Focus Life Sciences books have many activities in the chapters as well as revision sections at the end of every topic. They also have remedial worksheets which can be used for remediation and extension, which can be found in the Teacher s Guide. Extension activities to support those learners that need expanded opportunities Focus Life Sciences books have many activities in the chapters as well as revision sections at the end of every topic. Focus Life Sciences books also have extension worksheets, which can be used for remediation and extension, which can be found in the Teacher s Guide. Focus Life Sciences books include a wide variety of possible investigations, all of which can be performed as demonstrations if school has limited resources.
