Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 1 - Week 3

Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading allows us to read as a group, helping us to understand the text better. 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. I will read it aloud, and then I want you to think about what might happen next. For example, if the story is about a boy who finds a mysterious box, what do you think he will do with it? Will he open it? Will he be scared? This is how we make predictions based on the clues in the text.

Now, I will read the next part of the story. After I finish, I want you to discuss with your partner what you think will happen next. Use sentences like 'I think...' or 'Maybe...'. After a few minutes, we will share our predictions with the class. This will help us learn from each other and see different perspectives.

For your independent task, I want you to write down your own prediction about the story. Start with 'I predict that...' and then explain why you think that will happen. Remember to use correct punctuation and spacing. After you finish, we will share some of our predictions with the class.
