Today, we will learn new words that we can use in our everyday conversations. Vocabulary is important because it helps us express our thoughts and feelings clearly. We will read a short story together and identify new words. After reading, we will discuss what these words mean and how we can use them in sentences.
Let's look at the sentence: 'UThandi uyathanda ukudlala.' This means 'Thandi loves to play.' Notice how we start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. Now, let's change the sentence to 'UThandi uyathanda ukufunda.' which means 'Thandi loves to read.' We will practice writing sentences like this together.
In groups, you will receive a set of words and pictures. Your task is to match the words with the correct pictures. For example, if you have the word 'ibhola' (ball), find the picture of a ball. After matching, we will share our answers with the class and discuss why each word matches its picture.
Now it's your turn to write! I want you to choose three new words from our lesson today and write a sentence for each. Remember to start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. Once you finish, share your sentences with a partner and check if they have used correct punctuation.
