Today, we will explore new words in Sepedi. Vocabulary is important because it helps us express our thoughts and understand others. We will read a short story together and identify new words. After reading, we will discuss the meanings of these words and how to use them in sentences.
Let’s look at the word 'ngwana' which means 'child'. We can use it in a sentence: 'Ngwana o a bapala' which means 'The child is playing'. Notice how we use punctuation at the end of the sentence. Let's practice creating more sentences using the words we learned from the story.
In groups, students will choose three new words from the story. Each group will create a sentence for each word and share it with the class. As they present, we will check for correct punctuation and spacing. This will help us learn from each other and understand how to use the words correctly.
Now, it’s your turn to write! Choose five words from our vocabulary list and write a short paragraph using those words. Remember to use correct punctuation and spacing. After you finish, we will share our paragraphs with a partner and discuss what we wrote.
