4.1 Using punctuation appropriately

1. First, interviewing at least 12 learners to find out what their preference is so that you can base your design on their ideas.

Consider the call for a national uniform. How could you design the uniform in such a way that each school is easily identifiable.

Design only a summer uniform, a winter uniform and a sports range or informal wear.

a) Work out questions, that will give you reliable answers, to ask the learners.

• On a separate page, write down the answers you are given by 50 learners – this means that each member of your group will have to conduct a number of interviews and you will have a good sample of the school.
• Finally, summarise the results of the interviews.

Your Conclusion:

2. When you have completed the activity, including the interviews, present your design to the class. Each member of the team should be responsible for the following aspects:

a) Introducing the team members and saying who was responsible for each item in the course of the planning.

b) Presentation of your design.

Present the design by means of paper dolls, or have a fashion show, or choose another method.

c) Explain why you chose this design.

d) Give the cost of the uniform items.

e) Give the results of interviews that you held with learners to elicit their views of your design.

Activity 4:

To explore the creative use of language and use writing to generate appropriate text

[lo 4.1.2, 4.4]

• Short pieces of writing show errors very quickly so it is important to know the format and the content and style of some shorter pieces of writing. See how you fare:
• You have been invited to the Rose Ball . Write the formal invitation and your reply:
• Now send a fax to your best friend telling her or him about what you and your partner will be wearing. (You might like to include a colourful design).

Now pretend that you have already gone to this famous formal dance.

• Describe the hall, the decorations, the food and the music (without using ANY slang or contractions!). Write so well that your answer could be used for a newspaper article!
• And finally, write a thank-you letter to the organizer of the function, congratulating the team on the success of the function:
