Tshivenda Home Language - Term 2 - Week 9

Listening and speaking are essential skills that help us communicate effectively. In this lesson, we will listen to a short story in Tshivenda and discuss its main ideas. After listening, we will practice speaking by sharing our opinions and thoughts about the story. This will help us understand how to express ourselves clearly.

Let’s listen to a short story about a boy named Thandi who loves to play outside. After listening, I will ask you some questions. For example, 'What does Thandi like to do?' and 'Where does he play?' This will help us practice our listening skills and understand the story better.

Now that we have listened to the story, let’s have a group discussion. I will ask you to share one thing you liked about Thandi’s adventures. Remember to speak clearly and use full sentences. For example, you can say, 'I liked when Thandi played with his friends.' This will help us practice speaking in front of others.

For our independent practice, I want you to write three sentences about your favorite activity. Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. After writing, you will read your sentences to a partner. This will help you practice writing and speaking at the same time.
