Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 9

Shared reading is an interactive reading experience where the teacher reads a text aloud while students follow along. This method helps students engage with the text, enhances their vocabulary, and improves comprehension. Today, we will read a short story together and make predictions about what might happen next based on the illustrations and context clues.

As we read the story 'The Lost Dog', I will show you a picture of a dog looking sad. I will ask, 'What do you think will happen to the dog next?' Students might predict that the dog will find its owner or meet a new friend. This encourages them to think critically about the text and use their imagination.

In small groups, students will read a short text about a girl who finds a mysterious box. After reading the first paragraph, I will ask each group to discuss what they think is inside the box. They will share their predictions with the class, and we will write them on the board. This activity promotes collaboration and allows students to express their thoughts.

Students will write a short paragraph predicting the ending of a story they have read in class. They should use correct punctuation and spacing. For example, they might write, 'I think the girl will open the box and find a treasure.' After writing, they will exchange their paragraphs with a partner to read and discuss each other's predictions.
