Xitsonga First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 6

This week, we will focus on assessing what we have learned in Xitsonga. We will read short texts together and discuss them as a class. It is important to listen carefully and think about the questions that will be asked. We will also practice writing sentences, ensuring we use correct punctuation and spacing.

Let's read a short story together: 'U Nwa Moya' (The Boy Who Loved Water). After reading, I will ask you questions like, 'What did the boy love?' and 'Why was water important to him?' This will help us practice our comprehension skills. Remember to raise your hand to answer!

Now, let's work together to build sentences. I will give you a few words, and you will help me form a complete sentence. For example, if I say 'Nwa' (Boy), 'Tshia' (Runs), and 'Moya' (Water), we can create the sentence: 'Nwa u tshia moya.' Make sure to use a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end.

For your independent practice, I want you to write three sentences about your favorite animal. Remember to use correct punctuation and spacing. After you finish writing, you will share your sentences with a partner. This will help you practice speaking and listening skills as well.
