Tshivenda First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 7

Listening and speaking are essential skills that help us communicate effectively. In this lesson, we will listen to a short story in Tshivenda and discuss its main ideas. We will also practice speaking by sharing our thoughts and feelings about the story. This will help us improve our vocabulary and sentence structure.

Let's read a short story together: 'Muthu u tshi khou bva shangoni. U ya kha nḓuni ya vhuṱungu.' (The person is coming from the village. He is going to the beautiful place.) After reading, we will discuss what the story is about and what we think about it. This helps us practice our listening and speaking skills.

Now that we have read the story, let's have a group discussion. I will ask questions like: 'What did Muthu do?' and 'Where is he going?' Each student will take turns answering. Remember to listen carefully to your classmates and respond to their ideas. This will help us learn from each other.

For this activity, each student will write three sentences about their favorite place. They should use correct punctuation and spacing. After writing, students will pair up and read their sentences to each other. This will give them a chance to practice speaking and listening while sharing their thoughts.
