Today, we will explore creative writing in Sepedi. Creative writing allows us to express our thoughts and feelings in a fun way. We will learn how to build sentences and use punctuation correctly. Remember, every sentence should start with a capital letter and end with a full stop, question mark, or exclamation mark.
Let’s look at some examples of sentences. For instance, 'Ngwana o a bapala' (The child is playing) is a complete sentence. Notice how it starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop. Now, let’s create another sentence together. If I say 'Mafele a na le mehlolo', what punctuation should we use at the end?
In groups, I want you to create three sentences about your favorite animal. Use at least one exclamation mark in one of your sentences. After you write your sentences, we will share them with the class. Remember to check your punctuation and spacing before sharing.
Now, I want each of you to write a short story about a day in the life of your favorite animal. Use at least five sentences and remember to use correct punctuation. After you finish writing, draw a picture of your animal and label it in Sepedi. We will display your stories and drawings on the classroom wall.
