  The exam paper, titled "PRE-TECHNICAL STUDIES PROJECT," is a project-based assessment to be completed by learners working in groups of 4 to 5. The project has a duration of 1 month and is marked out of a total of 40 marks. The emphasis is on using locally available materials.

  The project requires learners to design and make simple storage boxes for a local primary school. The assessment is structured into three main tasks:

  • Task 1: Design and Planning (12 marks)
    • 1. Design Sketch (6 marks): Create a freehand pictorial sketch of the proposed storage box, clearly showing its appearance and indicating the main measurements.
    • 2. Material Selection (3 marks): Choose and list suitable locally available materials for constructing the storage box. Learners must explain the reasons for their material choices, considering factors like availability, cost, suitability, and sustainability.
    • 3. Tool Selection (3 marks): Select and list appropriate tools (from a given list or others available) needed for the various stages of construction: marking out, cutting, and joining the chosen materials.
  • Task 2: Implementation and Process (20 marks)
    • 4. Marking Out and Cutting (10 marks): Use the selected tools to accurately mark out and cut the parts of the storage box from the chosen materials, following the design specifications. (Assessed via teacher observation).
    • 5. Assembly (10 marks): Carefully assemble the cut parts to create the storage box according to the sketch. Assessment focuses on the strength of joints and the overall stability and functionality of the finished box. (Assessed via teacher observation of process and final product).
    • 6. Process Documentation (2 marks): Learners are required to take videos or photos documenting each stage of the project: designing, selecting materials/tools, marking out, cutting, and assembling.
  • Task 3: Portfolio and Reflection (8 marks)
    • 7. Electronic Portfolio Creation (6 marks): Create an electronic portfolio (e.g., a digital folder) containing the videos and photos taken during the project implementation (as per Q6). The portfolio should be named with the group's name.
    • 8. Benefits Statement (2 marks): State two benefits that the completed storage boxes will provide to the primary school learners.
