Sesotho First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 8

In this lesson, we will review what we have learned in Sesotho this term. We will focus on listening, speaking, reading, and writing. We will read a short text together and discuss it. After that, we will do some activities to practice our skills. Remember, it is important to use correct punctuation and spacing when we write.

Let's read a short text together: 'Mokhulu o na le ntja e ntle.' (Grandfather has a nice dog.) After reading, I will ask you questions about the text. For example, 'Who has a nice dog?' and 'What kind of dog does Mokhulu have?' This helps us understand the text better.

Now, let's have a group discussion about the text we just read. I will ask you to share your thoughts. What do you think about Mokhulu's dog? How does it make you feel? Remember to listen to your classmates and respond to their ideas. This will help us practice our speaking skills.

For independent practice, I want you to write three sentences about your favorite animal. Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. For example, you can write, 'Ntja ea ka e monate.' (My dog is nice.) After you finish writing, we will share our sentences with the class.

• Grandmother has a big cat.
