Listening and Speaking Reading and Viewing Writing and Presenting Language Structures and Conventions

Each lesson consists of four sections:

Each of these sections is made up of activities. At the beginning of each lesson is a list of the things covered in the particular lesson.

At the end of each lesson there are remedial and extension activities, which may be completed if time allows. Each lesson is broken down into activities. Some of these activities will be used as part of the formal assessment tasks. Refer to the portfolio book for the formal assessment tasks. Addendum A at the back of the study guide has the rubrics used to assess some of these tasks.

SECTION 1

Study Guide G05 ~ English First Additional Language SECTION 1:

LISTENING AND SPEAKING

Activity 1: Listen to a short story Listen carefully as your facilitator reads you a short story.

Answer the following questions: 1. What are the characters’ names? 2. What do you learn about the characters? 3. For what did the first boy use his intelligence and talents? 4. Was the second boy liked? 5. What did the first young boy learn?

Now, discuss these points: 1. Do you think the second boy showed responsibility? 2. How do you show responsibility to the people in your community? 3. Do you know anyone similar to Simon or John? 4. Which character are you more like? Why? 5. Why do you think the story is called ‘Two intelligent boys’?

Activity 2: Retell a story

Retelling a story means you tell a story you already heard before.

Tips for retelling a story: 1. Use the simple past tense: This indicates something that has already happened. For example: “Then he walked to the shops.” 2. Use connecting words such as then, because, so, first, firstly. 3. Retell the story in the correct sequence (order of events). Look at the pictures below and on the next page. Then retell the story your facilitator read to you in Activity 1.

Unit

Language structures and conventions Revise ‘a’ and ‘the’ with nouns Recap the use of articles before nouns: we use ‘a’ when referring to a thing, for example, ‘a boy’; and ‘the’ when referring to a specific boy. Use the articles ‘a’ and ‘the’ before nouns when retelling the story.

Activity 3: Practise listening and speaking Your facilitator will tell you which of these activities to do. •

Perform a short poem

I am responsible for all that I do, from turning in work to making friends too.

It is up to me just how much I will learn, the grades that I get will be grades that I earn. So now I will choose what is best for me. I am responsible I hold the key!

Unit

Study Guide G05 ~ English First Additional Language

Language structures and conventions Build on the use of proper nouns A name used for a specific person, place, thing or idea. Days, months and holidays always begin with a capital letter. For example, Kate, Belgium or Tuesday, 29 March. • • •

Play a simple language game Play ‘Simple Simon says’ using responsibility phrases such as ‘Simple Simon says, clean the floor/wipe your desk’. Give and follow instructions Give and follow instructions about doing responsible tasks around the classroom. For example, “Put your book away.”

Share your own news Share your own news about something responsible you have done around the home. Share at least two sentences.

SECTION 2

SECTION 2:

READING AND VIEWING

Activity 4: Predict a story from its title and pictures 1. 2.

Read the following title: ‘The Queen’s Journey’. What do you think the text will be about?

Look at the pictures below and on the next page. What do they tell you about the text?

Study Guide G05 ~ English First Additional Language

Unit

Activity 5: Use reading strategies

What are reading strategies? Effective readers use strategies to understand what they read before, during, and after reading. Some basic reading strategies include: 1. Skimming a text: You gaze over the text and look for important points (for example, the characters, theme, plot and setting). 2. Phonic clues: The clues the sounds of the words give you. For example: “The chest sings ...” emphasises the singing sound, which means the chest must be magic. 3. Contextual clues: The clues the context of the story gives you. For example: You know it must a kingdom because there is a queen. 1.

Skim the text and write down the characters and setting of the story.

A young queen received a special gift from a great wizard. It was a magic chest that would bring happiness to the whole kingdom whenever it was opened in a place where there was a spirit of generosity. The queen travelled all over her kingdom, looking for the most generous people. When she had collected them all, she opened the magic chest. Nothing happened. That was until one day when, returning to her castle, the queen saw a poor little boy begging. The queen would have given the boy a few coins, but she didn’t have any with her. “May I have the old chest to sell in town for a little money?” he asked. At first the queen hesitated because she had been told the chest was magic. But on seeing how poor the boy was, she gave it to him. The boy took the chest and opened it. Turn page!

Unit

Immediately, all the most wonderful things one could imagine started flying out of the chest, accompanied by the sound of singing: “Why look for it in others? Goodness always starts in yourself,” went the song. And as well as enjoying all the wonders of the magic chest, the queen learnt to set an example in virtue, and she became the best queen to ever reign over that kingdom. 2.

Use phonic and contextual clues to help you find the meaning of the story.

Activity 6: Discuss new vocabulary Read the story again. Underline any unfamiliar words. Ask your facilitator to help you define new and unfamiliar words.

Activity 7: Use a dictionary Read the unfamiliar words you have underlined. 1. 2.

Use a dictionary to write the meanings of the words you do not understand. Once you know the meanings, write sentences with your new words.

Activity 8: Answer comprehension questions Read the story from Activity 5 again.

Answer the following questions in your exercise book. 1. Who gave the queen a gift? 2. Explain the gift he gave the queen. 3. What did the queen give the little boy? 4. What happened when the little boy opened the chest? 5. What are the words of the song the chest sang? 6. What did the queen learn? 7. How are you responsible? 8. What is the meaning of: a) generosity b) virtue

Unit

Activity 9: Discuss the title, plot and setting

Look at these features in a book or story: Title refers to the name of the story. Plot refers to what happens in the story; what it is about. Setting refers to where the story takes place. Talk about: 1. The title of the story 2. The plot of the story 3. The setting in the story

Activity 10: Express your opinion on the story

When you express your opinion on something, you say what you think about it and why. Your facilitator will begin a discussion in which you can express your opinion on the following points: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Did you enjoy the story? Why did you enjoy the story? Do you think the queen was kind? Why? What do you think the poor boy looked like? What do you think the kingdom was like? Do you think the castle was big? Why do you say this?

Activity 11: Read in pairs Read a book from the library, then give your opinion about the book. Language structures and conventions Build on the use of personal pronouns Write down some examples of personal pronouns. Use these pronouns when expressing your opinions about the story.

Unit

Activity 12: Practise reading

When you read aloud: 1. Pronounce the words clearly. Make sure everyone can hear you. 2. Read fluently. Don’t breathe after each word; breathe at a comma or full stop, and read your sentences like you would say them. 3. Read with expression. Use different voices. Change your tone if necessary. Read the story in Activity 5 again, or read another storybook out loud.

Activity 13: Retell the story

When you retell a story, it means you must tell the story in your own words. Pretend you are telling someone who has never read the story. Retell the story from Activity 5 in three to five sentences. Look at the rubric in Addendum A to see how you will be assessed.

SECTION 4:

LANGUAGE STRUCTURES AND CONVENTIONS

Activity 17: Proper nouns

roper nouns are the names of people, places, days and months. P Always use a capital letter for a proper noun. For example: Tabitha, Gauteng, Monday, January 1.

Rewrite each sentence using capital letters for proper nouns. a) They travelled to cape town, durban and johannesburg. b) The learners did their community service during the july holidays. c) We are going to clean up litter near the river on saturday and sunday. d) human rights day is on 21 march. e) edi, sarah and brian are all going to watch the soccer match.

Activity 18: Countable nouns

A countable noun is a noun that we can count. They can be singular or plural and can be used with a number. For example: one desk, two desks. © Optimi

1. 2.

Look at the words your facilitator writes down. Which ones are countable? How many other countable nouns can you think of?

Activity 19: Phonic knowledge

Unit

Look at the words your facilitator gives you. Listen for their syllables by clapping as you say each syllable. For example: mo (clap) – ney (clap). 1.

Shout out words, and break them up into syllables by clapping on each syllable.

Activity 20: Subject-verb agreement

We use the words ‘there is’ when there is only one. For example: There is one girl playing outside. We use the words ‘there are’ when there is more than one object in the sentence. For example: There are three girls playing outside. 1.

Put ‘There is’ or ‘There are’ in front of these words: a) five queens b) one wizard c) two chests d) a boy e) a kingdom

READING AND VIEWING

Activity 24: Read and discuss the graph

Look at the bar graph below, which shows how learners respect their teachers.

Consider the following: 1. What information does the bar graph give you? 2. If you had to tell someone what the graph indicated, how would you say it? 3. Do you agree with the information on the graph? Why or why not? 4. What other respectful attitudes could you add to the graph? 5. How do you think the information was gathered?

Activity 25: Read the information text Read the text that refers to the bar graph above. This bar graph is based on Mrs Chetty’s class. There are 30 learners in her class. The graph shows three criteria that represent how the learners in Mrs Chetty’s class show respect for the teachers in their school.

The graph shows that 10 learners let teachers go through doors first, 15 learners greet teachers, and 25 learners listen to their teachers. © Optimi
