Setswana First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 8

In this lesson, we will review what we have learned in Term 2. We will listen to a short story in Setswana, discuss it, and then practice reading and writing. This will help us see how much we have learned and where we can improve. Remember, assessment is not just about tests; it's about understanding and growing in our language skills.

Let's read a short story together. The story is about a boy named Thabo who loves to play outside. As we read, pay attention to the words and the punctuation. After reading, I will ask you some questions about the story. For example, 'What does Thabo like to do?' This will help us practice our reading comprehension.

Now, let's work together to build sentences. I will give you some words, and you will help me put them together correctly. For instance, if I say 'Thabo', 'bana', and 'bona', we can create the sentence 'Thabo o bona bana'. Remember to use a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end. Let's try a few more sentences together.

For your independent practice, I want you to write three sentences about your favorite activity. Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. After you finish writing, read your sentences to a partner. This will help you practice speaking and sharing your ideas in Setswana.
