Tshivenda First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 7

In this lesson, we will focus on listening to a short story in Tshivenda and discussing it as a class. Listening is an important skill that helps us understand what others are saying. Speaking allows us to express our thoughts and feelings. We will also practice reading and writing by creating sentences based on the story.

Let’s read a short story together. The story is about a little bird that wanted to fly high in the sky. As we read, pay attention to the bird's feelings and what it learns. After reading, we will discuss what happened in the story and how the bird felt at different times.

After reading the story, I will ask some questions to help us think about it. For example, 'How did the bird feel when it first tried to fly?' and 'What did the bird learn by the end of the story?' Students will take turns answering these questions, practicing their speaking skills and using complete sentences.

Now, I want each of you to write three sentences about the story. Remember to use correct punctuation and spacing. For example, you could write about what the bird did or how it felt. After writing, you will share your sentences with a partner, practicing your speaking skills again.
