Today, we will explore a short isiXhosa story together. Shared reading allows us to read as a group, helping us to understand the text better. As we read, I will ask you to predict what might happen next in the story. This will help us think critically and engage with the text.
Let’s read the story 'Uthando noMoya'. As we read the first few sentences, I will pause and ask, 'What do you think will happen next?' For instance, if the character sees a big tree, you might predict that they will climb it or find something interesting there. This encourages you to think about the story actively.
Now, I will read another short story aloud. After each paragraph, I want you to discuss with your partner what you think will happen next. Use phrases like 'I think...' or 'Maybe...' to express your ideas. After a few minutes, we will share our predictions with the class.
For your independent task, I want you to write a short paragraph predicting what will happen in a story of your choice. Remember to use correct punctuation and spacing. After you finish writing, draw a picture that represents your prediction. We will share these in our next lesson.
