English Home Language - Term 3 - Week 6

This week, we will focus on reviewing what we have learned in English Home Language. We will assess our skills through various activities that include listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It is important to reflect on our learning and understand how to use words and sentences correctly. We will also practice using punctuation marks to make our writing clearer.

Let's look at how to build a simple sentence. For example, 'The cat is sleeping.' We can identify the subject 'The cat' and the action 'is sleeping.' Notice how we use a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end. Now, let’s try to create our own sentences using the words 'dog', 'run', and 'fast'.

I will read a short story about a boy and his dog. As I read, listen carefully and think about what happens in the story. After I finish, we will discuss the main events. I will ask questions like 'What did the boy do with his dog?' and 'How did the dog feel?' This will help us practice our listening and speaking skills.

Now it’s your turn to write! Using the picture prompts provided, write three sentences about what you see. Remember to start each sentence with a capital letter and end with a full stop. After you finish writing, pair up with a partner and read your sentences to each other. Check if you used punctuation correctly.

• with a lowercase letter
• with a capital letter
• with a number
• with a punctuation mark

Answer: with a capital letter

Every sentence should begin with a capital letter to indicate the start of a new thought.

A complete sentence has a subject and a verb, making it a full thought.
