Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading allows us to read as a group, helping us to understand the text better. We will look at the pictures and the title to make predictions about what the story might be about. This is an important skill because it helps us think critically about what we read.
Let's look at the cover of our story, 'Uhlanga Olukhulu' (The Big Tree). What do you see in the picture? (Show the cover). Based on the picture, what do you think the story will be about? (Encourage students to share their thoughts). For example, if they see a big tree, they might predict that the story involves animals living in the tree or children playing around it.
Now, let's read the first few pages of 'Uhlanga Olukhulu' together. As we read, I want you to listen carefully and think about what might happen next. After each page, I will ask you to share your predictions. For instance, after reading about the tree, I might ask, 'What do you think will happen when the wind blows?' This encourages students to think ahead and engage with the text.
After our reading, I want you to think about your favorite part of the story. Write one or two sentences about it. Remember to use capital letters at the beginning of your sentences and a full stop at the end. For example, if you liked the part where the children played under the tree, you could write, 'Abantwana badlala phansi komuthi.' (The children play under the tree).
