isiZulu First Additional Language - Term 1 - Week 10

This week, we will review what we have learned in isiZulu. We will focus on listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It is important to understand how to use words and sentences correctly. We will also discuss the importance of punctuation and spacing in our writing.

Let’s read a short story together. The story is about a boy named Thabo who loves to play outside. After reading, I will ask you questions like, 'What does Thabo love to do?' and 'Where does he play?' This will help us check our understanding of the text.

Now, let’s practice building sentences. I will give you some words: 'Thabo', 'uhlala', 'ebhishi'. Let’s arrange these words into a correct sentence. Remember to use a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end. The correct sentence is 'Thabo uhlala ebhishi.'

For your independent practice, I want you to write three sentences about your favorite animal. Make sure to start each sentence with a capital letter and end with a full stop. After you finish writing, read your sentences to a partner and check if they understand what you wrote.
