Setswana Home Language - Term 3 - Week 7

In this lesson, we will focus on listening and speaking skills. Listening is important because it helps us understand what others are saying, while speaking allows us to express our own ideas. We will listen to a short story and then discuss it as a class. This will help us practice our speaking skills and learn to share our thoughts clearly.

Let's look at how to build a sentence. For example, if we take the words 'dog', 'runs', and 'fast', we can create the sentence: 'The dog runs fast.' Notice how we start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. This is how we use punctuation correctly in our sentences.

I will read a short story about a cat named 'Mia'. As I read, listen carefully and think about what Mia does in the story. After I finish, I will ask you some questions about the story. This will help you practice your listening and comprehension skills.

Now it's your turn to practice writing sentences. Using the words 'bird', 'sings', and 'beautifully', write a complete sentence. Remember to use a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end. After writing, share your sentence with a partner and read it aloud to them.
