English Home Language - Term 2 - Week 8

In this lesson, we will review what we have learned this term. We will focus on listening, speaking, reading, and writing. We will read short texts together, discuss them, and answer questions to check our understanding. This will help us see how much we have learned and what we still need to practice.

Let's read a short story together. After reading, I will ask you questions about the story. For example, 'Who is the main character?' or 'What happened at the end of the story?' This will help us practice our comprehension skills and learn to express our thoughts clearly.

Now, let’s practice writing sentences. I will give you some words, and you will work in pairs to create sentences using those words. Remember to use capital letters at the beginning and punctuation at the end. For example, if I give you the words 'cat' and 'runs', you could write, 'The cat runs fast.'

For your independent practice, I want you to think about your favorite story from this term. Write a few sentences about it. Make sure to include the title, the main character, and what you liked about the story. Remember to check your sentences for correct punctuation and spacing before you hand them in.
