We develop and distribute quality and contextually relevant educational resources for use in the schooling, health and vocational sectors. Materials are distributed through various technology platforms including broadcast, the Internet, (www.mindset.co.za/learn), and on DVDs. The materials are made available in video, print and in computer-based multimedia formats. As an organisation, Mindset is committed to innovation. Last year we successfully ran a series of broadcast events leading up to, and in support of the 2009 NSC examinations, and we have expanded the programme in 2010. This year, we launched Learn Xtra, a series of programmes, broadcast on Saturdays, to give grade 12 learners „xtra‟ help in preparing for their examinations in mathematics, physical sciences, life sciences and mathematical literacy. Now we are proud to announce our second edition of Matric Revision which will broadcast in September, and again in October / November. The programme has been expanded to support learners in six subjects: mathematics, physical sciences, life sciences, mathematical literacy, English 1st additional language and accounting. The solutions to selected questions from previous examination papers in these subjects will be supported on the Mindset Learn broadcast channel, (channel 319 on DStV), and on Top Learn. Mindset Network, with the support of our partners, is providing direct support to a number of sites across the country where facilitated study events will be hosted for learners. These events will aim to assist learners in correctly and adequately preparing for their examinations, while also offering the opportunity for any last minute help with content. We would like to acknowledge the support of principals and educators who have joined us in running this campaign. Thank you for giving up your time over the weekends leading up to the final examinations. We do appreciate your efforts and trust that through this intervention, the learners of 2010 will benefit and achieve the results they are hoping for. We would appreciate your feedback and comments on the Matric Revision programme.

There are a number of different types of programmes that will last for a whole day. These include:  General Examination Tips These are 15 minute sessions that give details of what learners can expect in each examination paper. Practical guidelines are also given to learners on how to prepare for the day of the exam. The General Exam Tips are repeated during the day.  Exam Tips for Topics The Exam Tips for selected topics are also approximately 15 minutes long. They will be broadcast just before an in-depth session on the given topic. In these sessions guidelines are given on mark allocation, and common errors learners often make.  Topic Session The solutions to questions selected from previous exam questions in key topics, will be presented. The questions have been collated into the printed support material. There are three sessions of this nature for each day.  Interactive Q & A These 45 min. sessions follow on from the topic sessions. They are designed to give learners the chance to test themselves. Additional questions will be presented, and learners are encouraged to complete the questions before the answers are presented.  Live Phone-in A 3-hour phone-in programme will be presented on each day from 16:30 – 19:30. Experienced teachers will work through learners‟ questions. Encourage learners who have access to Mindset Learn or Top Learn at home, to call in with questions. They should phone 0861058262 or email questions to xtra@mindset.co.za English First Additional Language Exam Revision Facilitator‟s Guide www.mindset.co.za/learn Page 4 Broadcast Schedule Daily Schedule Time Session 09:00 -09:30 eXam Tips 09:30 -11:00 Topic 1: eXam Questions 11:00 -12:15 Topic 2: eXam Questions 12:15 – 13:00 Test Yourself: Q & A 13:00 – 13:30 Lunch Break 13:30 – 14:00 eXam Tips 14:00 – 15:30 Topic 3: eXam Questions 15:30 – 16:30 Test Yourself: Q & A 16:30 – 19:30 Live: Phone-in 19:30 Repeat of day‟s schedule September Schedule Date Subject 24-Sep-10 Maths: Paper 1 25-Sep-10 Physical Sciences: Paper 1 26-Sep-10 Accounting 27-Sep-10 Life Sciences: Paper 1 28-Sep-10 Maths Literacy: Paper 1 & 2 29-Sep-10 Maths: Paper 2 30-Sep-10 Physical Sciences: Paper 2 01-Oct-10 Life Sciences: Paper 2 02-Oct-10 English 1st Additional Language: Paper 1 English First Additional Language Exam Revision Facilitator‟s Guide www.mindset.co.za/learn Page 5 October / November Schedule Date Subject 23-Oct-10 Maths: Paper 1 24-Oct-10 Maths: Literacy 25-Oct-10 Maths: Paper 2 26-Oct-10 English 27-Oct-10 Maths Literacy 28-Oct-10 Maths: Paper 1 29-Oct-10 English 30-Oct-10 Maths Literacy 31-Oct-10 Maths: Paper 2 01-Nov-10 English 02-Nov-10 Life Sciences: Paper1 03-Nov-10 Life Sciences: Paper 2 04-Nov-10 Accounting 05-Nov-10 Physical Sciences: Paper 1 06-Nov-10 Physical Sciences: Paper 2 Date Subject 07-Nov-10 Life Sciences: Paper 1 08-Nov-10 Life Sciences: Paper 2 09-Nov-10 Physical Sciences: Paper 1 10-Nov-10 Exam Revision: English 11-Nov-10 Physical Sciences: Paper 1 12-Nov-10 Life Sciences: Paper 1 13-Nov-10 Life Sciences: Paper 2 14-Nov-10 Physical Sciences: Paper 2 15-Nov-10 Accounting 16-Nov-10 Life Sciences: Paper 1 17-Nov-10 Life Sciences: Paper 2 18-Nov-10 Life Sciences: Paper 1 19-Nov-10 Life Sciences: Paper 2 20-Nov-10 Accounting 21-Nov-10 Life Sciences: Paper 2 23-Nov-10 Accounting English First Additional Language Exam Revision Facilitator‟s Guide www.mindset.co.za/learn Page 6 Guidelines for facilitating The use of TV in education has been well researched and documented. Many studies have revealed that the power of the medium has helped learners to become motivated about learning. However, it is important to recognise that TV is a passive medium, and learners need to engage actively to get maximum benefit. That is why the role of the teacher is crucial. At Mindset our educational philosophy is to use a range of resources to help improve learning. In this process we actively partner with teachers who play an important role in what is presented to learners. In many schools teachers are using DVDs and computers where the transmission can be stopped at strategic points. However, for live broadcasts this is not possible. To help you facilitate and use the resources provided, we need to find different strategies. Here are some suggestions you may want to try:  Arrange the learners so that they can work in small groups of 4 – 6. Ensure that they sit in a semi-circle, facing the TV. There needs to be room for you to move between groups. We suggest that you join a different group for each new question.  The questions given in the session are in the learner notes. It would be best if learners could attempt the questions before watching the broadcast. If this is not possible, learners need to attempt to answer the question while it is presented on TV. If they are unsure of how to proceed, they should watch to see the answer. Encourage them to write down the solution presented, and discuss this with their group quietly.  If learners do not understand what is being presented, encourage them first to ask their peers quietly. This will help the learners who do understand, to explain concepts to those who don‟t. When a group of learners are not following the presentation, encourage them to attract your attention without calling out.  Some learners may not keep up with the pace of the questions being presented. You will need to identify the slower workers and get them to work on their own without watching the TV all the time. Encourage learners to watch the repeat broadcast.  Be aware that it is not realistic to expect learners to stay focused for the whole day. We have, therefore, scheduled short breaks between topics. Please encourage your learners to use these breaks to stand and stretch, or visit the bathroom. A lunch break has also been scheduled. It is essential that learners use this time to have something to eat and drink. Taking regular breaks will ensure that learners are able to concentrate for longer.  The solutions to questions are provided in the learner materials. Encourage learners to attempt the questions themselves after watching the broadcast, and using the solutions only to check that they have the correct solution. Copying out the answers will not help them prepare for the exam.
