1.2 Big concepts are not taught as topics on their own, but are ideas that link
several topics to organise and categorise information.
1.2.1 Which of the (CAPS Social Science) big ideas described in unit 2 will be
appropriate to weave through your theme plan? (1)
The big idea of "power, authority, and governance" would be appropriate to
weave through the theme plan.
1.2.2 Give reasons for your choice.
This big idea is relevant because it encompasses the concepts of how societies
are organized and governed, the distribution of power and authority, and the
impact of governance on different social groups. These themes can be woven
through the unit to provide a comprehensive understanding of how power
dynamics and societal structures shape human behavior and interactions.
(Reference: CAPS Social Science, Unit 2)
1.3 If you want to teach learners about your specific topic and chosen science
concept, you must know what they understand about it and how they came to
have that understanding. Show how you will go about finding out what your
learners understand about your topic and science concept before you teach it.
