Utilize the inclination assessment provided by TeacherConnectchat to help you identify a career that
matches your skills and qualities. The inclination test can be accessed through WhatsApp at +27 60 060
3333.
Scan the QR Code for ease of access

Open the WhatsApp application on your phone and send this keyword: IGO in a WhatsApp message to
TeacherConnectchat contact. Please note that the keyword is not case-sensitive (so you can enter it in
uppercase or lowercase). Just make sure that there are no spaces between the letters i, g and o.

Follow the instructions

 select between option 1 (Career / Job) and option 2 (Business Idea)
 research the option selected
 develop a research question
 develop an interview questionnaire that will respond to the research question developed
 conduct interviews as part of the research process as follows:
◦ Complete the IGO Inclination assessment on WhatsApp
◦ CAREER CHOICE: Conduct an interview with somebody who works in your selected career choice
(can be done face to face, via WhatsApp, email or a questionnaire)
◦ BUSINESS CHOICE: Conduct an interview with a business owner (can be done face to face, via
WhatsApp, email or a questionnaire)
 keep a list of resources used for referencing purposes

A SPECIAL NOTE TO LANGUAGE TEACHERS

1 The learners of both language levels (HL and FAL) have the same choice. They choose to either
research a career and write a report, OR they research a business idea and then write a business
letter. There is,
therefore, a choice. If the learner chooses to do the rep ort in HL, he/she will do the business letter in FAL.
Similarly, if the learner chooses to do the report in FAL, he/she will do the business letter in HL.
2 All languages will be included on Home Language level at schools. All language levels do the
creative writing project in the Yearly Teaching plan. The GEC pilot schools do a Non-Literary Text
project, and the other schools do a Literature project.

ORAL HISTORY PROJECT: GRADE 9

Dear parent / guardian / caregiver and interviewee

The Grade 9s will be doing Oral History as part of the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement
(CAPS). Part of the learning involves conducting actual interviews with individuals on some of the key

· teach learners how to construct interview questions relevant to the topic.
· give learners the experience of conducting interviews.
· teach time management skills.
· give learners an opportunity to appreciate the rich histories of their communities.

The information in the project will not be used for formal research project purposes. The information will
be used as educational and teaching material in the classroom.

The interview should not be more than 60 minutes long. Please sign the consent from below and submit
it to the interviewer.

Your cooperation and openness to the learners will be deeply appreciated. Please call the school for
further information and clarification.
