Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 7

In this lesson, we will focus on listening and speaking skills. Listening is important because it helps us understand what others are saying. Speaking allows us to share our ideas and feelings. We will listen to a short story in Sepedi and then discuss it as a class. This will help us practice our language skills and learn to express ourselves clearly.

Let's read a short story together: 'Mokhudu o na le ngwana. Ngwana o a bapala.' (Mokhudu has a child. The child is playing.) After reading, we will talk about what Mokhudu and the child are doing. This will help us understand the story better and practice speaking in Sepedi.

After listening to the story, I will ask questions to guide our discussion. For example, 'Ke eng se ngwana a se dirang?' (What is the child doing?) Students will take turns answering. I will encourage them to use full sentences and correct punctuation. This will help them practice speaking clearly and confidently.

Now, it's your turn to write! Think about your favorite activity. Write a sentence about it in Sepedi. Remember to use correct punctuation. For example, if you like to play soccer, you could write: 'Ke rata go bapala bolo.' (I like to play soccer.) After writing, share your sentence with a partner and read it aloud.
