Portfolio of Evidence (PoE) — Background
Introduction
It is important that you are able to display both sound subject knowledge as well as the ability to
adequately apply it to scenarios you will encounter as a Foundation Phase Life Skills educator. As
these are critical components of this module, this Portfolio of Evidence is designed to critically assess
both.
This Portfolio of Evidence needs to be developed as you progress through this module. The
questions in this assignment all form part of a single Portfolio of Evidence (POE) to be submitted at
the end of the module.
Module Assessment — Background and Instructions
1. As explained in your Module Guide, this module’s assessment structure is comprised of two
activities. In order to prepare you for these activities, there will be two compulsory ICE tasks
that must be submitted for marking to your lecturer as per their timeline. These need not be
included in the PoE. The aim of the two Compulsory ICE tasks is to render additional support
to you so that you can be able to complete your Summative PoE effectively.
2. You will have two lecturer facilitated touchpoints which will be scheduled prior to the
expected completion of the PoE activities as per pacer. This is an opportunity for you to
receive developmental feedback on your draft work before submitting the Summative at the
end of the module.
PS: Activities will only be marked on the final summative submission.
The assessment weighting for this PoE is as follows:
Assessment Name Weighting
ICE 10%
Summative POE 90%
NB: Failure to submit your final portfolio of evidence by the prescribed time and date (as per PAS) will
be treated as an absence from examination, and not as a late assignment. Please refer to the IIE 009
Assessment Strategy and Policy (updated January 2015) for further details. The final
portfolio will be required to be submitted through Safe Assign.

INSTRUCTIONS
Compulsory ICE Task 1
It is essential to be well‐prepared for academic essays.
Create a mind‐map of the planning for your academic essay. Brainstorm important
ideas that will assist you with your academic essay on physical education in the
Foundation phase.
Guidance:
Create your mind map on an A4 piece of paper.
Take a picture of your mind map and submit your mind map online.
Write clear and concise points that will assist you in your academic essay.
Compulsory ICE Task 2
In a lesson plan, you need to take into consideration all the important aspect of the
lesson plan to have a successful lesson. Make a list of the accommodations you will need
to make a PE lesson. Bring your list to class and present it to the class. After your
presentation, your peers will be allowed to provide you with feedback.

lessons.

Activity 2 —Planning physical education activities (Marks: 20)
In this activity, you are requested to plan teaching activities for a two-week period. You therefore need to create a
brief two-weeks planner for Physical Education activities. Also specify the skills you will focus on according to
CAPS.
Instructions:
You may choose any foundation phase Grade and Term.
Use CAPS Life Skills document.
Ensure that the learning objectives are outlined.
Remember that CAPS specify two hours of PE each week. This would be two times a week. Divide
your time according to the number of sessions/activities you would like to have.
You may use any format.

You are in a low‐resource school and the class size is 40 learners. As a teacher, you are required to

knowledge and skills are taught using prior knowledge to scaffold the learning.
Instructions:
Choose a Grade 1, 2 or Grade 3 class.
Choose one Term for the chosen Grade.
Refer to CAPS Life Skills: Physical Education for the CAPS Specific Focus Skills.
You may choose any area within Physical Education.
The assessment strategy needs to be visible in your planning.
Please use the template provided in TEXP7419.
Please use Rubric – provided at the end of this PoE, to guide the planning, structure, and contents of
your answer. It is important that you use the rubric to evaluate your own work before you submit
