isiZulu First Additional Language - Term 4 - Week 7

Today, we will explore a short isiZulu story together. Shared reading allows us to read as a group, helping each other understand the text. As we read, we will make predictions about what might happen next in the story. This will help us think critically and engage with the text.

Let's look at the first page of our story. It shows a picture of a boy looking at a big tree. What do you think he will do next? Will he climb the tree, or will he go home? Discuss your ideas with a partner. Remember, predictions are guesses based on what we see and read.

Now, we will read the story together. As I read, I want you to raise your hand if you have a prediction about what will happen next. After each page, we will pause and share our thoughts. This will help us understand the story better and practice our speaking skills.

After finishing the story, I want you to write down your own prediction about what could happen if the boy climbs the tree. Use complete sentences and remember to use correct punctuation. Once you finish, share your prediction with a classmate.
