LISTENING AND SPEAKING

Activity 1: Listen to a short story Listen carefully as the facilitator reads the story “Kholeka’s Family Photograph” to you. While you are listening, try to form a picture in your mind of what the story is about.

Activity 2: Answer questions about the story Listen carefully as the facilitator reads “Kholeka’s Family Photograph” to you a second time.

As you listen to the story a second time, listen for the details of the story. For example: What are the characters’ names? What is the setting of the story? What do we know about the characters from the story? Now answer the questions the facilitator asks you about the story.

Activity 3: Retell the story in the correct order Tell the story in your own words. Make sure you tell the story in the correct order.

The word ‘first’, ‘then’ and ‘last’ tell us the order in which things happened. Try to use some of these words as you retell your story.

Activity 4: Give a personal recount

Tips for presenting a speech 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Engage with the listeners. Make them feel you are glad they are there. Believe in yourself and speak with confidence. Speak clearly and do not rush. Everyone wants to hear what you have to say. Use variation in your voice. Pause every now and then. Make eye contact with the audience. 17

Unit

7. 8. 9. 10.

Study Guide G04 ~ English First Additional Language

Use good body language. Stand upright and do not slouch. Look interested. Avoid too many hand gestures. Enjoy yourself!

Listen to the personal recount the facilitator gives you.

Close your eyes for 30 seconds and think of something that happened to you that you can tell someone else about. It could be something to do with a family outing or a family occasion. Give a recount of what happened.

Activity 5: Practise listening and speaking 1.

Perform rhymes.

Listen as the facilitator reads this rhyme to you. Watch and copy the actions.

Families Some families are large (spread arms out wide) Some families are small (bring arms close together) But I love my family (cross arms over chest) best of all!

Music in our home Mommy plays the violin. Daddy plays the flute. Big brother blows the horn, toot-toot-toot-toot. Little sister keeps the beat By clanging on a pot. And I try to sing along Whether I know the words or not. 2.

Respond physically to instructions.

Activity 6: Predict the story from the title and pictures

Our family picnic Last Sunday, my family went to the Ipeleng Dam for a picnic. There were six of us: my mother, my father, my brother, Ezie, my grandpa, my gran and, of course, me. It was a hot day so Ezie and I put our swimming costumes on under our clothes so that we could swim in the dam when we arrived. My mom packed a picnic basket. She put lots of food in the basket because Ezie is always hungry – my mom says it is because he is growing so fast. We all got into my dad’s car. It was a bit of a squash!

We arrived at the dam and bundled out of the car. My dad put a waterproof blanket on the ground and my mom unpacked the food and drinks from the picnic basket.

“Come, Lily, let’s swim!” shouted Ezie as we stripped off our clothes, rushed down to the water and jumped in. Mom, Dad, Grandpa and Gran came to watch us. We had lots of fun splashing about in the dam until it was time for our picnic.

Study Guide G04 ~ English First Additional Language

Unit

We jumped out of the water and, dripping and laughing, raced back to our picnic spot.

As we got closer, we heard Dad yelling, “Hey! Hey!” We all ran up to see who he was yelling at, and there, helping themselves to our picnic, were two monkeys! “Hey! Hey!” yelled Dad again, waving his arms wildly to chase them away.

The monkeys shot off, but one of them had an apple in its hand. Luckily we had returned just in time because all that the monkeys got away with was one small apple and we still had plenty to eat!

Activity 7: Use reading strategies The facilitator will read the story “Our family picnic” to you once. You will then be asked to read the story or parts of the story aloud.

As you listen to the story and then read it yourself, try to form a picture in your mind of what is happening in the story.

Unit

Study Guide G04 ~ English First Additional Language

Activity 8: Answer questions about the story Work with a partner and take turns to read “Our family picnic”.

Answer these questions orally. 1. How many people went on the picnic? 2. What is the boy’s name? 3. What is the girl’s name? 4. Who packed the picnic basket? 5. Who drove the car? 6. Why did Dad shout and wave his arms about wildly? 7. Who stole an apple? 8. Why do you think Ezie and Lily put their costumes on under their clothes? 9. What do you think Mom may have put in the picnic basket? 10. Do you think “Our family picnic” is a good title for the story? Can you think of another title?

Activity 9: Retell the story in sequence Work with a partner. Take turns to say who the main characters are in the story of “Our family picnic”. Then take turns to tell the storyline, making sure that everything follows in the correct order. Use words such as one, two, first and then. Discuss your feelings about the story with all the learners. Use these questions as a guide to your discussion. Remember: When you discuss your feelings about a story there are no correct or incorrect answers. When you give your opinion, however, you must be able to give reasons why you have that opinion.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Did you enjoy the story? Did you think it was a good story? Give a reason for your answer. Was the story too long or too short? Do you think the story was well written? Why or why not? Could the story have been told in a more exciting way? If so, how?

Study Guide G04 ~ English First Additional Language

Unit

Activity 10: Discuss new vocabulary Skim through the story to see if there are any words you do not understand. Write these words down and look them up in the dictionary. If you are still unsure, ask the facilitator to help you understand the words. Find 10 words in the story that you don’t know how to spell. Tip: Learning to spell new words

When you want to learn to spell a new word: 1. Write it down. 2. Concentrate on how the word is spelt as you write it. 3. Look at the word you have written and spell it to yourself aloud or silently. 4. Cover the word and try to rewrite it correctly. 5. Check that you have spelt the word correctly. If not, see where you made the mistake and then write it again correctly. See if you can spell the new words aloud.

Activity 11: Use a dictionary to revise alphabetical order Look up the words on the next page in your dictionary.

Dictionary work Use these techniques to help you look up words in the dictionary: 1. Know the alphabet. 2. All words are listed alphabetically. Look at the first letter of the word. 3. Turn to the place in the dictionary where you think this word will appear judging by its place in the alphabet. 4. Look at the second letter of the word. For example, when you look at a word such as ‘author’, you first look at the words under ‘a’, then look at the second letter as this will tell you where in the ‘a’ section this word will be found. 5. If the first letters of words are the same, look at the second letter, then the third and so on. 6. Remember, the more you practise looking up words in the dictionary, the easier it will become.

LANGUAGE STRUCTURES AND CONVENTIONS

Activity 17: Identify countable and uncountable nouns 1.

Read the definitions for the types of sentences. A noun is a naming word. Three are four main types of nouns:

1. 2.

3. 4.

Common nouns are names given to ordinary things, such as a desk or chair. Proper nouns are the specific names of people and places and always begin with a capital letter. Collective nouns are the names given to a collection of objects, such as a flight of stairs. Abstract nouns are the names given to things that we cannot see, touch or measure, such as a feeling or emotion; for example, love, kindness. Most nouns can be counted; for example, one monkey, two monkeys. These are called countable nouns. Uncountable nouns are nouns that stay the same in the singular and the plural, such as sheep and scissors.

Draw a table with two columns. List the countable nouns in one column and the uncountable nouns in the other. Make a heading for each column.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

The man stored the wood in the garage. The tailor used scissors to cut the material. Anna put the cheese in the fridge. They grow potatoes in the garden, but often eat rice and fruit. Jared put the money in his wallet. Mom went to the shop and bought food. The sunshine made the flowers look beautiful. The teacher wrote on the board with chalk. They found the jewels under the sand. There is water in the pond.

Activity 18: Punctuation and simple past tense

Full stops indicate the end of a sentence. Capital letters indicate the start of a sentence or a proper noun. Lower case refers to small letters as opposed to capital letters. © Optimi

Study Guide G04 ~ English First Additional Language

Unit

Rewrite these sentences putting in capital letters and full stops in the correct places. a) we play in the garden b) elie and lily laugh at the monkeys c) mom packs a delicious picnic lunch d) lily paints a picture of the monkeys e) grandpa walks towards the dam

Rewrite the above sentences in the simple past tense. Start each sentence with ‘Yesterday’. The simple past tense indicates when an action happens in the past; for example, Yesterday Elie walked to school.

The simple past tense is formed by adding ‘-ed’ to regular verbs. Some verbs are irregular and change their form in the past tense; for example, eat – ate.

REMEDIAL ACTIVITY Identify the common nouns in the following paragraph.

The boy and the girl ran into the garden to play. There were trees, flowers, grass and bushes in the garden. The children climbed a tree and found a nest with a bird sitting on some eggs. The children slid down the tree quietly so that they did not disturb the bird.

EXTENSION ACTIVITY 1.

Use the past tense form of the irregular verbs in the box to rewrite these sentences in the simple past tense. ate

a) b) c) d) e)

bought

caught

held

found

Dad catches the monkey. Mom buys food for the picnic. The monkey eats the apple. Grandpa finds the apple core. He holds it in his hand.

Make a list of other irregular verbs that change their form in the past tense.

LISTENING AND SPEAKING

Activity 19: Answer questions on an information text

Information texts give us facts. The main purpose of an information text is to inform, educate and entertain the reader. Information texts are usually found in newspapers, magazines, nonfiction books and on the internet. Non-fiction means that it is a true story; it is about facts and is not made up. Fiction is an imaginary story; something made up. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Listen carefully as the facilitator reads the newspaper article “Home for Babies Opened”. Write the letters a) to g) in the margin in your exercise book. The facilitator will read questions about the article. Answer the questions by putting the number of the correct answer next to each letter. Mark your work as the facilitator calls out the answers. Discuss your results with the facilitator.

Activity 20: Describe the text and give opinions 1. 2. 3. 4.

Describe the opening of “Safety for Babies Centre” in your own words. Give your opinion on the article. Is it well written? How does it make you feel? Share your ideas about people who help others. Do you admire them? How do they make you feel? Say “Safety for Babies Centre” aloud to a partner. How do you say the ‘c’ in centre? Read the rule below to find out more. Language lesson: spelling

These words are spelt with a ‘c’, but when we read them aloud they make the ‘s’ sound: cement, centre, circle, circus, cycle. In these words the letter ‘c’ is followed by ‘-e’, ‘-i’ and ‘-y’.

Unit

Study Guide G04 ~ English First Additional Language

Activity 21: Give a recount of an event

Giving a recount of an event a) It must contain the facts such as names, places and other necessary details. Think of it as who, where, when, what and how. Your recount should include at least some of the following: Who was involved? Who was there? Where did it take place? When did it happen? What happened? How did it happen? b) c)

Plan your recount by writing down relevant facts. Make sure that you tell it in the correct order.

Tell about an event that you attended. It must contain all the facts, but also say how you felt about the event.

Activity 22: Follow oral directions

Directions refer to the instructions required for reaching a place. We give directions to someone trying to get somewhere by telling them, “Turn left at the stop street”. Words such as ‘left’, ‘right’, ‘up’, ‘down’, ‘north’, ‘south’, ‘east’ and ‘west’ refer to directions.

Instructions refer to detailed information that tells how something should be done. Instructions can be used for building something or operating a machine; for example, glue the two pieces together; or first pull down the lever and then press the button. 1. 2.

Listen carefully as the facilitator discusses the difference between directions and instructions. Give your own examples of each to show that you understand the difference. Follow the directions the facilitator gives you to discover your treat.
