Tshivenda First Additional Language - Term 1 - Week 10

This week, we will review everything we have learned in Tshivenda this term. We will focus on short texts that we can read together. I will ask you questions about these texts to see how well you understand them. We will also practice speaking by discussing our favorite stories and characters in Tshivenda.

Let's read a short story together. The story is about a boy named Thabo who loves to play outside. As we read, I will pause and ask you questions like, 'What does Thabo like to do?' or 'Where does he play?' This will help us check our understanding of the text and practice our speaking skills.

Now, I will give you some words, and I want you to help me create sentences. For example, if I say 'Thabo', 'play', and 'outside', you can help me form the sentence: 'Thabo plays outside.' Remember to use correct punctuation at the end of your sentences. Let's practice together!

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 include correct punctuation. After you finish writing, you will share your paragraph with a partner. This will help you practice speaking and listening skills.
