Tshivenda First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 8

This week, we will focus on assessing what we have learned in Tshivenda. We will read short texts together and discuss them as a class. It is important to listen carefully and think about the answers to the questions that will follow. We will also practice writing sentences and using punctuation correctly.

Let's read a short story together. After reading, I will ask you questions about the story. For example, if the story is about a boy who loves to play soccer, I might ask, 'What does the boy like to do?' This helps us practice our listening and comprehension skills. Remember to raise your hand to answer!

Now, let’s work together to build sentences. I will give you some words, and we will put them together to form a complete sentence. For example, if I say 'muthu' (person) and 'tshilidzi' (school), we can create the sentence 'Muthu u ya tshilidzi' (The person is going to school). Make sure to use a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end.

For your independent practice, I want you to write three sentences about your favorite animal. Remember to start each sentence with a capital letter and end with a full stop. After you finish writing, read your sentences to a partner and check if they understand what you wrote. This will help you practice your speaking skills as well.
