Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 4 - Week 5

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

Let's read a short text together: 'Mokhudu o na le ngwana. Ngwana o rata go bapala.' (Mokhudu has a child. The child loves to play.) After reading, we will discuss what Mokhudu and the child like to do. This will help us understand the text better and practice our speaking skills.

After listening to the story, we will break into small groups. Each group will discuss the following questions: What does Mokhudu do? How does the child feel about playing? Each group will share their answers with the class. This will encourage everyone to listen carefully and express their ideas clearly.

Now it's your turn to practice writing! Write three sentences about your favorite activity. Remember to use correct punctuation and spacing. For example, 'Ke rata go bapala.' (I love to play.) After writing, share your sentences with a partner and read them aloud. This will help you improve your writing and speaking skills.
