Tshivenda Home Language - Term 4 - Week 5

In this lesson, we will focus on improving our listening and speaking skills. Listening is important because it helps us understand what others are saying, while speaking allows us to express our thoughts and ideas clearly. We will listen to a short story in Tshivenda, discuss it, and practice forming sentences with proper punctuation.

Let’s listen to a short story about a boy named Thabo who loves to play soccer. After listening, we will discuss what happened in the story. For example, we can ask: 'What did Thabo do after school?' This helps us practice our listening and speaking skills.

After listening to the story, we will break into small groups. Each group will discuss their favorite part of the story. Use sentences like, 'My favorite part was when Thabo scored a goal.' Remember to use correct punctuation when writing your sentences on the board.

Now, each student will write three sentences about what they enjoy doing after school. Make sure to use capital letters at the beginning of each sentence and a full stop at the end. Once you finish, pair up with a partner and read your sentences aloud to each other.
