Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 9

In this lesson, we will focus on improving our listening and speaking abilities. Listening is important because it helps us understand others, while speaking allows us to express our thoughts clearly. We will listen to a short story and then discuss it as a class. This will help us practice our speaking skills and learn to share our ideas respectfully.

Let's look at how to build sentences correctly. For instance, if we take the words 'I', 'like', 'to', 'play', we can form the sentence: 'I like to play.' Notice how we start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. This is important for clear communication. Now, let’s practice creating sentences using different words.

I will read a short story aloud. As I read, pay attention to the details. After the story, we will discuss what happened. I will ask questions like, 'Who was the main character?' and 'What did they do?' This will help you practice listening for important information and speaking about it.

Now it’s your turn to write! Think of your favorite animal and write three sentences about it. Remember to start each sentence with a capital letter and end with a full stop. After writing, pair up with a partner and read your sentences to each other. This will help you practice speaking and listening at the same time.
