isiNdebele First Additional Language - Term 4 - Week 2

Creative writing allows us to express our thoughts and imaginations. Today, we will write about our dream day. A dream day is a day filled with all the things we love to do. We will think about what activities we would include, who we would spend the day with, and where we would go. Remember to use your imagination and have fun!

Let’s look at an example: 'On my dream day, I would wake up early and have pancakes for breakfast. Then, I would go to the beach with my friends. We would build sandcastles and swim in the ocean. In the evening, we would have a picnic under the stars.' Notice how each sentence has a clear idea and uses punctuation correctly.

Now, let’s discuss what our dream days would look like. I will ask you questions, and you can share your ideas. What would you eat for breakfast? Who would you spend the day with? Where would you go? As you share, think about how to form complete sentences and use punctuation. I will write down some of your ideas on the board.

Now it’s your turn to write! Take out your exercise books and write a short paragraph about your dream day. Remember to include at least three activities, who you would be with, and where you would go. Use correct punctuation and spacing. After you finish, we will share our paragraphs with a partner.
