Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 8

In this lesson, we will review what we have learned in Sepedi this term. We will focus on listening, speaking, reading, and writing. We will read short texts together and discuss them. This will help us understand how to use words and sentences correctly. Remember, punctuation and spacing are very important in writing.

Let’s read a short story together. The story is about a boy named Thabo who loves to play soccer. As we read, pay attention to the words and how they are put together in sentences. After reading, we will discuss what Thabo did and how he felt. This will help us practice our comprehension skills.

Now, let’s have a group discussion about the story we just read. I will ask you some questions. For example, 'What did Thabo do after school?' or 'How did Thabo feel when he scored a goal?' Please raise your hand to answer. This will help us practice speaking and listening in Sepedi.

For independent practice, I want you to write three sentences about your favorite game. Remember to use correct punctuation and spacing. After you finish writing, share your sentences with a partner. This will help you practice your writing skills and learn from each other.
