Sepedi Home Language - Term 2 - Week 8

In this lesson, we will review what we have learned this term. We will read short texts together and discuss them. This will help us understand how to express our thoughts clearly in Sepedi. We will also practice writing sentences, ensuring we use correct punctuation and spacing.

Let's read a short story about 'Mokhudu le Mmaagwe' (Mokhudu and His Mother). After reading, I will ask questions like, 'What did Mokhudu do?' and 'How did his mother feel?' This will help us practice our comprehension skills and express our ideas in Sepedi.

Now, let's work together to create sentences. I will give you a few words, such as 'ngwana' (child), 'bana' (children), and 'bjale' (now). Together, we will form sentences like 'Ngwana o bapala' (The child is playing). Remember to use capital letters at the beginning and punctuation at the end of your sentences.

For your independent practice, I want you to write three sentences about your favorite animal. Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. After you finish, share your sentences with a partner and discuss what you wrote. This will help you practice speaking and listening in Sepedi.
