Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 1

Shared reading is an interactive reading experience where the teacher reads a text aloud while students follow along. This method encourages students to engage with the text, make predictions, and enhance their comprehension skills. Today, we will read a short story in Sepedi, and I will ask you to predict what you think will happen based on the title and pictures.

Let’s look at the title of our story: 'Mokhudu le Mma Motswedi'. What do you think this story might be about? (Pause for student responses.) Now, let’s look at the first picture. What do you see? How does it relate to the title? (Encourage students to share their thoughts and make predictions about the story.)

Now, I will read the first paragraph of the story aloud. As I read, I want you to think about what you expect will happen next. After I finish, we will discuss your predictions. (Read the paragraph and then ask students to share their predictions. Write their ideas on the board.)

Based on the story we read, I want you to write three sentences about what you think will happen next. Remember to use correct punctuation and spacing. After you finish writing, pair up with a partner and read your sentences to each other. (Circulate the room to provide support and feedback as students write.)
