Today, we will learn new words in Setswana. Vocabulary helps us express our thoughts and feelings. We will read a short story together and identify new words. After reading, we will discuss the meanings of these words and how we can use them in sentences.
Let's take the word 'ntlo' (house). We can create a sentence: 'Ke na le ntlo.' (I have a house.) Notice how we start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. This is important for correct punctuation. We will practice this with other words we learn today.
In small groups, I will give each group a set of new words. Your task is to create sentences using these words. Remember to use correct punctuation. After 10 minutes, each group will share their sentences with the class. I will help you if you get stuck!
Now, it's your turn to write! Choose three new words from our lesson today and write a sentence for each. Make sure to check your spelling, use capital letters at the beginning of each sentence, and end with a full stop. Once you finish, we will share some of your sentences with the class.
