Tshivenda First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 7

In this lesson, we will focus on listening and speaking in Tshivenda. We will listen to a short story and discuss its main ideas. Listening carefully helps us understand better, while speaking allows us to share our thoughts. We will also learn how to use punctuation marks correctly when we write sentences.

Let's read a short story about a boy named Thabo who loves to play outside. Thabo plays with his friends and enjoys the sunshine. After reading, we will discuss what Thabo did in the story. For example, we can ask: 'What did Thabo enjoy doing?' This helps us practice our listening and speaking skills.

After listening to the story, we will have a group discussion. I will ask questions like, 'Who are Thabo's friends?' and 'What games did they play?' Each student will take turns answering. This will help us practice speaking in front of others and listening to different ideas. Remember to use full sentences when you answer!

Now, it's your turn to write! Think about your favorite game to play. Write three sentences about it. Make sure to start each sentence with a capital letter and end with a full stop. For example, 'I love playing soccer. It is fun. I play with my friends.' After writing, share your sentences with a partner.
