LISTENING AND SPEAKING

Activity 1: Listen to a short story 1 hour

Read the story to the learners.

Two intelligent boys

Once upon a time there were two intelligent and capable boys. Their wonderful talents were obvious from an early age, and they outdid everyone around them. They had always known they were special and they had a desire that, in the future, everyone would come to admit how exceptional they were. Each of them developed in a different way. John used all his talents and intelligence to have a successful career and show everyone his superiority. He participated in all kinds of competitions, visited all the most important people and places, and was great at making friends in high places. Even when still very young, no one doubted that some day he would be the wisest and most important person in the land.

Simon, equally aware of his own abilities, never stopped feeling a heavy responsibility. He would do almost any task better than those around him, and he would feel obliged to help them. This didn’t leave him enough time to follow his own dreams of greatness. He was always looking for ways to help others. As a result, he was a much-loved and well-known person, but only in his own small circle. A great disaster struck the land, spreading misery far and wide. John had never come across anything like this, but his brilliant ideas worked well and they managed to slightly improve the situation. Simon, on the other hand, was so used to solving different problems, and had such useful know-how, that the disaster hardly affected the people in his region at all. His clever methods were soon used everywhere, and the fame of this good and wise man spread further than that of John’s. Indeed, he was soon elected governor of the whole nation. John then understood that …

Stop reading the story here and ask learners to predict what will happen next. Then continue reading the last paragraph:

John then understood that the greatest fame and wisdom come from the things we do in life, from the impact they have on others, and from the need to improve ourselves every day. He never again participated in competitions or vain shows, and from then on, whenever he travelled, he took his books along with him, so he would always be ready to offer a helping hand to all. Ask learners literal questions on the text, for example: 1. What are the characters’ names? John and Simon 2. What do you learn about the characters? John is arrogant and selfish. Simon is compassionate, kind and selfless. © Optimi

Unit

For what did the first boy use his intelligence and talents? John used his talents to have a successful career and show everyone his superiority. Was the second boy liked? Yes, he was a much-loved and well-known person. What did the first young boy learn? John learnt that the greatest fame and wisdom come from the things we do in life.

Encourage learners to express their opinions about the story.

Guide the discussion by asking questions such as: 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 20 minutes 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). Ask learners to turn to Activity 2 and look at the pictures as you reread the story from Activity 1. Encourage them to retell the story in the correct sequence using the simple past tense.

Once they have all had an opportunity to retell the story, spend 10 to 15 minutes asking learners to name the characters correctly (first young boy, second young boy). 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.

20 minutes

Choose one of the following activities each day for learners to practise their Listening and speaking skills.

•

Perform a short poem Encourage learners to perform the following 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! Language structures and conventions Build on the use of proper nouns Ask learners what a proper noun is (a noun used for a name/place). Then ask them to point out the proper noun in the poem (I). Explain that all proper nouns are capitalised. •

• •

Play a simple language game Encourage learners to play ‘Simple Simon says’ using responsibility phrases such as ‘Simple Simon says, clean the floor/wipe your desk’. Give and follow instructions Place learners into pairs and encourage them to give and follow instructions about doing responsible tasks around the classroom. For example, “Put your book away.” Tell their own news Encourage learners to tell their own news about something responsible they have done around their home. They must share at least two sentences.

READING AND VIEWING

Activity 4: Predict a story from its title and pictures 30 minutes

Ask learners to turn to Activity 4, read the title and look at the pictures. Ask them to predict what they think the story will be about.

Activity 5: Use reading strategies 30 minutes Reading strategies are used when reading a text, which help the reader to grasp the concepts and better understand the text.

Here are some basic reading strategies: 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. Ask learners to skim the following text for the characters (queen, poor boy) and the setting (a kingdom). Encourage them to use phonic (sounds) and contextual clues to find the meaning of the text: responsibility and thinking of others before yourself. 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

Facilitator’s Guide G05 ~ English First Additional Language

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.

Activity 6: Discuss new vocabulary 30 minutes

Read the story from Activity 5 again. As you read, encourage learners to underline any unfamiliar words in the text (for example: generosity, virtue). Use your dictionary to give definitions to the words learners share. Encourage them to make sentences with the words. Language structures and conventions Build on knowledge of sight words and high frequency words As you discuss new vocabulary, ask learners for words they already know, for example, boy, little, poor, queen. Revise the definitions for these words. Then ask them for high-frequency words they can see in the text, for example; all, a, would, etc.

Activity 7: Use a dictionary 30 minutes

Encourage learners to use a dictionary to find the meanings of words in the text they do not understand. Then ask them to write sentences using the words.

Activity 8: Answer comprehension questions 30 minutes

Ask learners to turn to Activity 8.

Read through the questions with them after which they complete the activity in their exercise books.

Activity 8: MEMORANDUM 1. 2.

Who gave the queen a gift? A wizard gave the queen a gift. Explain the gift he gave the queen. He gave the queen a chest that would bring happiness to the whole kingdom whenever it was opened in a place where there was a spirit of generosity.

What did the queen give the little boy? The queen gave the little boy the magic chest. What happened when the little boy opened the chest? All the most wonderful things one could imagine started flying out of the chest. What are the words of the song the chest sang? “Why look for it in others? Goodness always starts in yourself.” What did the queen learn? The queen learnt to set an example in virtue. How are you responsible? Learners’ own answers. What is the meaning of: a) generosity: people being kind and giving b) virtue: goodness

Activity 9: Discuss the title, plot and setting 30 minutes 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. Bring a well-known book to the lesson. Show this to learners then a) name the title, b) discuss the plot and c) discuss the setting of the story with them.

Begin a short discussion on each of the features in the story. 1. Title: ‘The Queen’s Journey’ 2. Plot: The queen is given a chest, which she gives to a poor boy sitting on the side of the road. The boy asks for money, but the queen does not have money on her, so she gives him the chest. When the boy opens it, goodness comes out. 3. Setting: A kingdom.

Activity 10: Express your opinion on the story 30 minutes When you express your opinion on something, you say what you think about it and why. Encourage learners to express their opinion on the story by engaging them in a discussion. Guide the discussion by asking the following questions: 1. Did you enjoy the story? 2. Why did you enjoy the story? 3. Do you think the queen was kind? Why? 4. What do you think the poor boy looked like? 5. What do you think the kingdom was like? 6. Do you think the castle was big? Why do you say this?

Unit

Facilitator’s Guide G05 ~ English First Additional Language

Activity 11: Read in pairs 30 minutes

Allow learners 30 minutes of paired reading. Encourage them to read a book from the library. When they have read a few pages, ask them to give their opinion on the book they are reading. Language structures and conventions Build on the use of personal pronouns Ask learners for examples of personal pronouns: I, it, they, us, you, etc. Encourage learners to use these pronouns when expressing their opinions about the story.

Activity 12: Practise reading 30 minutes

Ask learners to read ‘The Queen’s Journey’ from Activity 5. They may also read another story of their choice. Encourage them to read aloud with appropriate pronunciation, fluency and expression. 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.

Activity 13: Retell the story 30 minutes 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. Encourage learners to retell ‘The Queen’s Journey’ in their own words in three to five sentences.

WRITING AND PRESENTING

Activity 14: Write a personal recount 1 hour

Ask learners to turn to this activity. Read through the instructions with them. Discuss the points they must include in their recount: • They must write down the things they have been responsible for. • Learners choose one of their ideas on which to base their recount. • Make sure they stay on the topic of a day they were responsible. • Make sure they use their dictionaries to check spelling and their exercise books for correct grammar and punctuation. • Encourage them to use words that show they were responsible, for example: “I went to the shops and I bought the things my mom told me to buy. She was proud of me.”

They then write their first drafts in the box provided in the study guide. Once that is done, they write their final drafts in their exercise books. Language structures and conventions Build on understanding and using simple past tense Simple past tense refers to something said in the past, for example: “I went to the shops.” Learners must verbally give sentences in the simple past tense about what they did yesterday. Remind them that their personal recount must be written in the simple past tense.

Activity 15: Write an opinion on a story 2 x 20 minutes

Ask learners to turn to Activity 15. Read through the story in Activity 5 again, then have a short discussion about what they like and dislike about the story. Write down their ideas.

Then, ask learners to write three sentences on what they liked about the story, and three sentences on what they disliked about the story, in their exercise books. Language structures and conventions Use the dictionary to check spelling and the meanings of words Encourage learners to spend five minutes using their dictionaries to check the spelling and meanings of words encountered in this discussion and in the texts read.

Unit

Facilitator’s Guide G05 ~ English First Additional Language

20 minutes

Show learners how to create their own personal dictionaries, using either an extra exercise book or blank pages that can be bound together. Alternatively, learners can add to the dictionaries they created in Grade 4. If learners are starting a fresh dictionary, tell them to label each page with the letters of the alphabet and enter five words and meanings into their dictionaries from the texts they have read throughout this chapter. Language structures and conventions Words taken from shared reading Encourage learners to take five unfamiliar words they have read in the texts throughout the lesson and find their meanings in the dictionary. These new words are to be written in their personal dictionaries.
