isiNdebele 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 isiNdebele and discuss its main ideas. We will also practice speaking by sharing our thoughts and feelings about the story. Remember, good listening means paying attention and understanding what is being said.

Let’s listen to a short story about a boy named Thabo who loves to play soccer. After listening, we will discuss what Thabo did in the story. For example, we can ask: 'What did Thabo enjoy doing?' and 'Who did he play with?' This helps us practice our listening and speaking skills.

Now that we have listened to the story, let’s have a group discussion. I will ask you questions about the story, and you will take turns answering. For instance, I might ask, 'What was Thabo’s favorite game?' or 'How did Thabo feel when he scored a goal?' Make sure to listen to your classmates and respond to their answers.

For independent practice, I want you to write three sentences about your favorite game. Remember to use correct punctuation and spacing. After writing, you will share your sentences with a partner. This will help you practice speaking and ensure that your writing is clear and understandable.
