Tshivenda First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 9

Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading allows us to read as a group, helping us to understand the text better. As we read, we will make predictions about what might happen next in the story. This will help us think critically and engage with the text.

Let’s read the first part of our story. After reading a few sentences, I will ask you, 'What do you think will happen next?' For instance, if the story is about a boy who finds a mysterious box, you might predict that he will open it and discover something exciting inside. This is how we use our imagination and prior knowledge to make predictions.

Now, I will read a short paragraph from our story. After I finish, I want each of you to share your predictions about what will happen next. Remember to listen to your classmates and think about their ideas. We will write down some of your predictions on the board. This will help us see different perspectives and ideas.

For your independent practice, I want you to write a short paragraph about your favorite story. Include at least one prediction about what might happen next in the story. Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. After you finish writing, we will share our paragraphs with the class.
