Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 9

Today, we will focus on listening and speaking skills. Listening is important because it helps us understand what others are saying. Speaking allows us to share our thoughts and ideas. We will listen to a short story and then discuss it together. Pay attention to the words and the way they are spoken.

Let's listen to a short story about a boy named Thabo who loves to play soccer. As I read, think about what Thabo does in the story. After the story, I will ask you questions about it. For example, 'What sport does Thabo like?' or 'Who does he play with?'

Now that we have listened to the story, let's discuss it as a class. I will ask you questions, and you will raise your hand to answer. Remember to speak clearly and use full sentences. For example, if I ask, 'What did Thabo do after school?' you can say, 'Thabo played soccer with his friends after school.'

Now it's your turn to write! Think about your favorite sport and write three sentences about it. Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. For example, you can write, 'I love basketball. I play with my friends. It is very fun!' After you finish, we will share our sentences with a partner.
