Read Text A and answer the questions set. TEXT A Seven ways to support older people in your community Paragraph 1. It's important to support those in our local community who may feel vulnerable or lonely. This includes older people, so we've come up with six ways you can support your older neighbours in a safe way. Paragraph 2 - Show you care Sending letters, cards or postcards to older people can be a great way of showing you’re thinking about them, or making homemade cards and gifts can help to lift spirits. Many organisations share activities to keep people entertained at home. Peruse through their pamphlets which will help you to engage with the elderly in meaningful and enjoyable ways. Paragraph 3 - Help by running errands This simplest of tasks has become more difficult recently. If you know of any older people who might be worried about getting out to pick up food, you could lend a hand by picking up their shopping or medicine and delivering it to their doorstep at a safe distance. Maybe you could make an extra portion of food when you’re making meals and deliver it to them as a nice treat. Paragraph 4 - Stay in touch Keeping in touch is important. Many of the elderly feel very lonely. Pick up the phone and call older relatives, ask them how they are, if they need anything or if you can help out in any way. Having a chat with them about their day and what you’ve been up to can help to brighten their day and help them feel a little more connected to the community. You could also show them (or talk them through) how to use WhatsApp, FaceTime or Skype so you can see each other in person. Paragraph 5 - Encourage them to keep active Being indoors doesn’t just affect older people’s mental health, it can take its toll on their physical health as well, with reduced movements. It’s important to encourage olderSECTION A: Integrated Content and Text-Based Questions Read the text above and answer the following questions. 1a Identify six different informal forms in Paragraphs 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6. 1b Write the six identified forms out in their formal structure.

Educators can create suitable learning activities for Grade R students by leveraging their developing analytical skills. This can be achieved by fostering curiosity through inquiry-based learning, asking open-ended questions to enhance critical thinking, and including hands-on experiments. Opportunities for problem-solving, using visual aids and multimedia, and encouraging collaboration and dialogue also support cognitive growth. Additionally, integrating play-based learning, tailoring instructi

Please paraphrase the following "Teachers can design age-appropriate educational activities that capitalize on the improved analytical skills of Grade R learners by encouraging curiosity and inquiry-based learning, using open-ended questions to promote critical thinking, and incorporating hands-on activities and experiments. Providing opportunities for problem-solving and decision-making, utilizing visual aids and multimedia resources, and fostering collaboration and discussion also support cognitive development. Incorporating play-based learning, differentiating instruction to meet individual needs, encouraging reflection and self-assessment, and integrating technology to enhance learning are additional strategies. By implementing these approaches, teachers create engaging and challenging activities that cater to the cognitive development of Grade R learners, promoting their analytical skills, creativity, and overall academic growth. Teachers should continuously assess and adjust their approaches to meet the evolving needs of their students."

Sure! Here are brief responses to your questions based on the provided case studies.

### 1. Importance of Early Screening for Teachers
Early screening is essential as it allows teachers to identify potential developmental concerns, ensuring that appropriate interventions can be implemented quickly.

### 2. Examples from the Case Study
- **Communication Needs**: Tshepo's inability to communicate verbally is a red flag that could indicate the need for targeted support in language development.
- *

Read the following case study carefully and answer all the questions that follow: (Note that this case study is a follow-up of Tshepo’s case study used in assignments 02 and 03 but adapted to fit the assessment criteria for assignment 04.) Tshepo, an intelligent five-year-old, was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at the age of three. Tshepo attends an inclusive school. Tshepo made remarkable progress in his academic and personal development. For example, his teacher used Universal Design for Learning to support him and his peers in the classroom. Visual supports (pictures) were used in visual schedules to help him transition to the next activity. Tshepo cannot communicate verbally although his parents understand his gestures. Tshepo understands pictures in picture books and can follow one-step instructions but struggles to comprehend multi-step instructions. He finds it difficult to sustain focus on tasks or follow instructions for an extended period. His teacher uses pictures to help him follow instructions or stories and to respond to questions. He prefers to play alone and not with his classmates. To help Tshepo socialise more with his classmates, a buddy system was introduced in the classroom where children paired with each other each week. Tshepo’s gross motor skills are poor. He cannot stand on one foot or hop and skip. He likes to swing and can climb stairs independently. Tshepo requires assistance with basic self-care tasks, such as dressing, eating, and personal hygiene. His teacher also introduced visual schedules for washing your hands. Due to his inability to communicate verbally, Tshepo exhibits challenging behaviour such as temper tantrums when his needs are not addressed. He does not like loud noises and would run away when he feels unsafe. Tshepo received support from the psychologist to cope with loud noises or what to do when he feels frustrated. Pictorial support was added to all these support strategies. 1. Explain why you think it is important for early screening to teachers. 2. [3] Use at least three examples from the case study to support your statement. In their guidelines for early screening by Grade R teachers, Clasquin-Johnson and Phala (2021) mention that early screening helps teachers to identify potential developmental concerns, red flags or risk factors. Explain in your own words what it means if a child has potential developmental concerns, red flags or risk factors.

Illustration of a young child, Tshepo, engaged in a brightly colored classroom filled with various educational toys and visual aids. He is interacting with a visual schedule depicting different classroom activities. Nearby, a supportive teacher and Tshepo's parents are seen discussing a document laid out before them, symbolizing collaboration and planning.

Read the following case study carefully and answer all the questions that follow: (Note: this case study is a follow-up of Tshepo’s case study used in assignment 02 but adapted to fit the assessment criteria for assignment 03.) Tshepo, a bright, intelligent and enthusiastic five-year-old, was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at the age of three. After a long struggle to find a school for Tshepo, he was admitted to an inclusive school willing to accommodate him with his specific needs. The transition to the inclusive school marked a turning point in Tshepo's educational journey. With access to tailored support and an individualised education plan (IEP), Tshepo made remarkable progress in his academic and personal development. Tshepo cannot communicate verbally although his parents understand his gestures. He understands pictures in picture books. Tshepo can follow one-step instructions but struggles to comprehend multi-step instructions. He finds it difficult to sustain focus on tasks or follow instructions for an extended period. He prefers to play alone and not with his classmates. Tshepo requires assistance with basic self-care tasks, such as dressing, eating, and personal hygiene. Due to his inability to communicate verbally, Tshepo exhibits challenging behaviour such as temper tantrums when his needs are not addressed. He does not like loud noises and would run away when he feels unsafe. 1. In the case study it is mentioned that an individual educational plan was developed for Tshepo. 1.1 Explain what an Individual Educational Plan (IEP) is. Use your own words. [2] 1.2 What are four goals that should be achieved in an IEP? [4] 1.3 Based on the information provided in the case study, create an individual education plan (IEP) for Tshepo. You can use the IEP form of your school or create your own based on the checklist below. [20] 1.4 As part of your IEP, you should copy, paste and complete the following checklist to ensure that you incorporated all the information in Tshepo’s IEP form. (In other words, the information provided in the checklist below should be reflected in Tshepo’s IEP. [4] Checklist for developing an IEP Does the IEP include the following? Description Yes No Collaboration among team members Includes the school-based support team and parents/guardians Goals Annual goals and short-term objectives (per term) Current situation Recognises and builds on a learner’s present level of development, taking note of the learner’s strengths, needs, as well as relevant assessment information Services/Supports Indicates what is needed to achieve goals, including therapists, frequency and duration Accommodations and modifications To ensure that the learner can access the curriculum and benefit from instruction Make recommendations for appropriate placement Either special or general Include an evaluation plan Specifies the timeline for evaluating progress Outline a possible transition plan From the age of 14 years (not applicable to Grade R learners) n.a. n.a. Please continue to the next page for question 2. 2. Explain the term Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Use your own words. [2] 3. Give three practical examples of how you can implement UDL in Tshepo’s Gr R classroom. [6] 4.

Illustration of Tshepo happily engaged in learning activities at his specialized inclusive school, surrounded by supportive teachers and classmates.

Assignment 02 questions Read the following case study carefully and answer all the questions that follow: Tshepo, a bright and enthusiastic five-year-old, was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at the age of three. Tshepo cannot communicate verbally although his parents understand his gestures. He does not like loud noises and would run away when he feels unsafe. Despite his intelligence and eagerness to learn, Tshepo encountered significant barriers when his parents sought admission to mainstream schools in their neighbourhood. Many schools cited their lack of resources and expertise to accommodate Tshepo's needs, leading to his exclusion from mainstream education. The challenges faced by Tshepo and his family were multifaceted. They encountered prejudice and misconceptions about Tshepo's abilities from school authorities and peers. Additionally, the limited availability of special education programmes further exacerbated their struggles to find a suitable learning environment for Tshepo. The emotional toll of rejection and the fear of stigmatisation weighed heavily on Tshepo's parents as they navigated the education system. Determined to provide Tshepo with quality education despite the hurdles, his parents sought support from advocacy groups and disability rights organisations. With their guidance, Tshepo's family was informed about international policies that influence inclusive education. As a signatory to these international policies and legislation on inclusive education, South Africa has also passed and enforced several policies and - 2024 6 pieces of legislation on inclusive education. As such, Thepo’s parents explored alternative educational options and found a specialised inclusive school equipped to cater to his needs. This school offered a supportive environment where Tshepo could thrive academically, socially and emotionally. The transition to the inclusive school marked a turning point in Tshepo's educational journey. With access to tailored support and individualised learning plans, Tshepo made remarkable progress in his academic and personal development. The inclusive environment fostered a sense of belonging and acceptance, empowering Tshepo to embrace his unique abilities and build meaningful connections with his peers. 1. Define inclusive education (4) and explain why inclusion is important in education and society (6) [10] 2. What could Tshepo’s Grade R teacher do to ensure equality in her classroom? [10] • Recognise, respect and accept the diversity and needs of children • Recognise that children’s needs are sometimes best met in different ways • Ensure that children are not treated differently or unfairly based on their race, gender, disability, religion or beliefs, sexual orientation or age • Provide equal opportunities in terms of access, participation and benefits for all children and their families • Treat all children fairly • Create an inclusive culture for all children • Ensure equal access to opportunities • Enable all children to develop to their full potential • Equip children with the skills to help them challenge inequality and discrimination • Prepare learning materials that do not discriminate against any individuals or groups • Ensure that your classroom policies, procedures and processes are not discriminatory 3. Identify four barriers (4) that Tshepo experienced and state if the identified barriers are intrinsic or extrinsic barriers (4). Give a reason for your choice of barrier type (4).

QUESTION 2 Read the given passage below and identify the seven (7) different roles that Miss Nice displayed. Give an example of how Miss Nice displayed each of the roles. (28) Secondary school teacher Miss Nice sees her career as an investment in a more equal future for rural area kids who might be interested in pursuing careers in agriculture and STEM. “Kids can sell themselves short out here,” Miss Nice says. “I try to empower them and make sure they don’t feel limited by anything.” Miss Nice, who teaches grades 7 to 9 in a rural school, is passionate about introducing her learners to new technologies and encouraging them to pursue their interests. She recently applied for and brought an iFarm, a fully computerised and interactive farm science research station, to her school. “Opening their eyes is so special,” Miss Nice enthuses. “When you show them something new and you see them light up with excitement, it is so worth it.” For Miss Nice, it is important for young learners to see women succeeding in agriculture. “There are a lot of young female learners I teach that are so passionate and clever when it comes to agriculture,” she says. This year, Miss Nice’s learners were gifted with two beautiful ribbons after participating in the School Merino Wether Challenge, an annual event which educates learners and teachers about the merino industry. These ribbons serve as a daily reminder for Ms. Nice of how she is inspiring her learners to follow their passions and making an impact on her learners’ lives. One of Miss Nice’s learners, who wants to work in agriculture, told her that the challenge was a great learning experience. “It is such a privilege to witness your learners growing in their confidence, engaging with current industry leaders and being inspired to make a difference,” Miss Nice says. Recently, Ms Nice asked her learners what they wanted to be when they grew up. She was moved when one of her learners piped up, “I think I’d like to be a Miss Nice.” “It meant so much to me to hear that," she explains. “I had many wonderful teachers throughout my school years, and it has always been my mission to make sure my learners felt they could look up to me the way I looked up to my teachers in the past.” She adds, “Being involved in young learners’ education is a privilege, and one that constantly challenges me to never stop learning and be better than I was yesterday.” For Miss Nice, the two ribbons remind her of this privilege every day.

There is no security system in place and the school fence was cut in several places because the community use the school as a short cut to a taxi rank. This resulted in some classes being severely vandalized. The school has 26 teachers over 600 learners from Grade 7 to Grade 12. The school had been classified as a poor performing school in the Gauteng province based on the learner performance for the past three years in the Senior Certificate Examination (Grade 12). Apart from the physical concerns on campus, the school was plagued by serious disciplinary problems and a governing body that had been ineffective since being elected. On daily bases, the principal was overwhelmed with interviewing parents and learners relating to disciplinary issues. It appeared that the principal was not coping with poor learner discipline and uncooperative parents. The principal alone had to resolve recurring schoolbased violence among learners, teachers and learners coming late to school and he had to attend to learners who refuse to do their homework. The district had received numerous complaints from parents and other members of the community about the learner performance and discipline at Trinity Secondary School. The enrolment had declined steadily over the past three years.

QUESTION 3 3.1 The following passage is taken from an interview with a school principal. The interview was conducted as part of a study on parental involvement in township schools. Read the principal’s response below and answer the questions that follow. Most learners reside with extended families, mostly grandparents. In most cases, these learners need parental love which they cannot get from these relatives. Sometimes their attitude and behaviour towards these learners traumatises them to the extent that they do not see any reason to go to school. At times they are made to regard the assistance rendered to them as a favour, and not an obligation. They are regularly informed that their biological parents are incapable of taking care of them, often resulting in behavioural problems that hamper their ability to learn. Many of them are absent-minded, often secluded, prefer to be alone and sad, and do not share their problems with others in the classroom (Munje & Mncube, 2018, p.85). 3.1.1 Identify four challenges that children face while residing with extended families. 3.1.2 Describe three circumstances that make children reside with extended family members instead of their biological parents. 3.1.3 State two ways the challenges you identified in question 3.1.1 might influence the children’s development. 3.1.4 What should be done to improve the lives of the children described in the passage?

Sometimes their attitude and behaviour towards these learners traumatises them to the extent that they do not see any reason to go to school. At times they are made to regard the assistance rendered to them as a favour, and not an obligation. They are regularly informed that their biological parents are incapable of taking care of them, often resulting in behavioural problems that hamper their ability to learn. Many of them are absent-minded, often secluded, prefer to be alone and sad, and do not share their problems with others in the classroom (Munje & Mncube, 2018, p.85). 3.1.1 Identify four challenges that children face while residing with extended families.
