Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 6

In this lesson, we will focus on assessing what we have learned in Sepedi this term. We will read short texts, listen to stories, and discuss them as a class. This will help us to consolidate our language skills and ensure we understand how to use Sepedi correctly in speaking and writing.

Let's read a short text together. The text is about a boy named Thabo who loves to play soccer. After reading, I will ask you questions like, 'What does Thabo love to do?' and 'Where does he play soccer?' This will help us practice our reading comprehension skills.

Now, let's form small groups and discuss the text we just read. Each group will talk about their favorite part of the story and share it with the class. Remember to use complete sentences and correct punctuation when you speak. This will help us practice our speaking skills.
