Sesotho First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 8

In this lesson, we will review what we have learned in Sesotho this term. We will focus on short texts that we can read together. I will ask you questions about these texts to check your understanding. Remember, it is important to listen carefully and think about your answers.

Let's read a short story together. The story is about a boy named Thabo who loves to play soccer. After reading, I will ask you questions like, 'What does Thabo love to do?' and 'Who is the main character?' This will help us practice our reading comprehension skills.

Now, let's practice writing sentences. I will give you some words, and you will create sentences using those words. For example, if I say 'Thabo', 'soccer', and 'play', you can write: 'Thabo plays soccer.' Remember to use capital letters at the beginning of your sentences and punctuation at the end.

For your independent practice, I want you to write a short paragraph about your favorite activity. Use at least three sentences and make sure to check your punctuation and spacing. After you finish writing, share your paragraph with a partner and discuss what you wrote.
