English Home Language - Term 3 - Week 7

In today's lesson, we will focus on listening and speaking skills. Listening is important because it helps us understand what others are saying, while speaking allows us to express our thoughts and ideas clearly. We will listen to a short story and then discuss it as a class. This will help us practice our speaking skills and learn to share our opinions respectfully.

Let's read a short story together. 'The Little Red Hen' is about a hen who finds some wheat and decides to make bread. She asks her friends for help, but they all refuse. In the end, she makes the bread herself and enjoys it. After reading, we will discuss what we learned from the story and how it relates to teamwork.

After listening to the story, we will have a class discussion. I will ask questions like, 'Why do you think the hen did not share the bread?' and 'What would you have done if you were one of the friends?' Students will take turns answering, and I will encourage them to listen to each other and respond thoughtfully. This will help reinforce their speaking and listening skills.

Now it's time for you to practice writing. I will give you some words: 'hen', 'bread', 'friends', and 'help'. Your task is to create sentences using these words. Remember to use correct punctuation and spacing. Once you finish, pair up with a partner and read your sentences aloud to each other. This will help you practice speaking and listening to your classmates.
