Practical Theory: new blog posts every week

Every week for the rest of 2025, I will be posting a blog post on teaching the theoretical concepts as prescribed in the CAT CAPS documentation. The goal is to give teachers practical ideas and inspiration on teaching the various ‘theory’ concepts.

I have always maintained that ‘theory’ should be taught in a more practical manner to help students get an actual grasp on the content. Doing it, however, is not that easy. I have created weekly blog posts which cover the various topics from ‘theory’ in the CAPS documentation to inspire teachers to try different ways of getting students to engage with the concepts.

Every Monday will have a post for Grade 10. Wednesday’s are for Grade 11 and Friday’s are Grade 12.

I hope this helps and gives you some ideas. I will also be trying out the ideas!

Zip all folders in one directory (script)

Sometimes, when marking practical assessments, you might want to return the assessment folders to your learners.  That means having to zip up every assessment as it contains many sub-folders and files. Here is a time-saving Powershell script which will automatically zip up every folder in a main folder. Copy the code below into a plain text file. Save the file as Zip.ps1 in the same folder as your learner folders. Run the script by right-clicking on it and select “Run with Powershell”. Hope that helps. Enjoy!
