This is the 2023/24 Annual Teaching Plan for Grade 10 Civil Technology, with separate plans for the three specialisations: Civil Services, Construction and Woodworking. The year starts with safety, materials and tools, moves to drawing and quantities, and then covers the joining, construction and installation work of each specialisation, ending with the final exam and PAT assessment.
Each specialisation plan is set out week by week over 10 weeks per term, with CAPS topics marked as generic or specific, pre-knowledge, resources and assessment for each week.
