MADE FOR YOUR TEACHING DAY
South Africa lesson plans, annual teaching plan and exam questions (DBE CAPS)
Everything a South Africa teacher prepares in a week, aligned to DBE CAPS.
Lesson plans for South Africa classrooms
Choose your class, subject and the DBE CAPS learning targets for the week. Teacher’s Friend prepares lesson plans with objectives, teaching and learning activities, resources and assessment, ready to edit, save and download as PDF or Word. How lesson notes work.
Annual teaching plan for the whole term
Lay out the term week by week from the DBE CAPS curriculum, then open any week to prepare its lesson plans. You can also photograph or upload the annual teaching plan your school already uses. Plan a scheme.
Exam questions and marking guides
Build class tests, end-of-term papers and practice in the style of school-based assessment and NSC, with objective and written sections and a separate marking guide. Practice papers are not official examination papers. Create exam questions.
Auto marking and class records
Photograph learners’ scripts and let Teacher’s Friend read the answers, then review every mark before it is saved. Set your own class score and exam score weights and see class and subject results. See auto marking.
