RECOMMENDED READING

All the texts for this year are either in this facilitator’s guide, the study guide or in the set book English for Life Reader Grade 9. However, learners must read as much they can – this will help broaden their vocabulary, develop their imagination and improve their memory.

Make reading an integral part of every lesson and emphasise to learners that they must read as widely as possible.

INTRODUCTION

Use this facilitator’s guide together with the study guide. Each activity in the study guide appears in the facilitator’s guide with a memorandum. This means you can work side-by-side with the learner without constant reference to the study guide.

This facilitator’s guide is organised into 4 units and 18 lessons. Each lesson is taught over 2 weeks.

• • • • •

Unit 1 has five themed lessons.

Unit 2 has four themed lessons and a mid-year examination.

Unit 3 has five themed lessons.

Unit 4 has four themed lessons and a year-end examination.

At the end of units 2 and 4, learners write exams.

Please refer to the assessment requirements for further details about the examinations and assessments.

Each lesson has 4 sections: • Listening and speaking • Reading and viewing • Writing and presenting • Language structures and conventions

Each of these sections contains activities. At the beginning of each lesson is a list of the topics covered in that lesson. At the end of each lesson are remedial and extension activities, which you may complete if time allows.

Please note that the information/resources in the guides are not exhaustive, find your own articles, books or research materials to enhance the content of the lessons.

TIMETABLE AND TIME MANAGEMENT Grade 9 English Home Language allocates 10 hours for each two-week lesson: • Listening and speaking: 2 hours • Reading and viewing: 3½ hours • Writing and presenting: 3½ hours • Language structures and conventions: 1 hour

Each activity in this guide has been developed according to the allocated times.

When you do your timetable make provision for 10 English lessons (5 hours) per week; 20 English lessons (10 hours) per two-week lesson.

Week 1 in your timetable should include: • 1-hour listening and speaking activity • 1 x 45-minute reading and viewing activity (comprehension) • 1 x 45-minute reading and viewing activity (literature) • 1-hour writing and presenting activity (planning and brainstorming) • 1-hour writing and presenting activity (writing the first draft) • 1 x 30-minute language structures and conventions activity (5 hours)

Week 2 in your timetable should include: • 1-hour listening and speaking activity • 1-hour reading and viewing activity (comprehension) • 1-hour reading and viewing activity (literature) • 1 x 45-minute writing and presenting activity (revising and editing) • 1 x 45-minute writing and presenting activity (proofreading and presenting) • 1 x 30-minute language structures and conventions activity (5 hours)

GENERAL

If possible, begin each lesson with a discussion on the theme. You may use the illustration on the opening page or any other suitable material. Make the lessons as interesting and interactive as possible.

Keep a list of high-frequency errors each time you control or check learners’ spoken or written work. Have a remedial session each two-week lesson to focus on correcting these errors. Allocate time each two-week lesson to reinforce language structures and conventions covered in previous weeks.

The set book for the year is English for Life Reader Grade 9. This contains the poems, short stories, play and folktales to be studied during the year. All questions are in the study guide with a complete memorandum in this facilitator’s guide. Learners do not have to complete the questions and answers in the reader. It is, however, recommended that you use these questions and answers as revision for the exams.

ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS

Each unit contains activities that form part of the formal assessment. These activities are clearly marked in both guides. The rubrics required for these assessments are at the back of the guide.

There are ten formal school-based assessment tasks (SBA). These are done during the year.

They include: • Four oral assessments • Two writing tasks • Three tests • One mid-year examination

These SBA tasks form 40% of the year mark. The year-end examination makes up the remaining 60%. There is no oral examination at the end of the year. Please use the four oral assessments during the year divided by 4 to calculate a year-end mark for orals (refer to the programme of assessment below).

Paper 2: Written examination, includes reading comprehension, language in context and a summary.

Listening and speaking

Activity 1: Talk about advertisements 1 hour

Study the illustration on the opening page. What is everyone doing? What does the idiom in the title of the lesson refer to? (A picture tells a story just as well as, if not better than, a lot of written words.) In this lesson, we look at advertising and the effect it has on us as consumers. Have you ever looked at or listened critically to advertisements?

What is advertising?

The basic aim of all advertisements is to persuade the reader/listener to buy or subscribe to a certain product. Advertisements fall in the category of ‘persuasive texts’ that attempt to influence the reader to perform a certain action, mainly to yield to/to buy a certain product.

A persuasive text can be defined as an intentional effort at influencing a reader’s attitude and behaviour. Remember this when you are asked to write a persuasive essay.

Pre-listening and speaking 1.

Give two ways we abbreviate (shorten) the word advertisements (ad/advert). This form of abbreviation is called truncation or clipped words, that is, part of the word is clipped off, but the word still retains its original meaning.

Learners must discuss their favourite and least favourite advertisements on the radio or on television and explain why they like or dislike them.

2.

Revise these concepts which relate to advertisements by matching the word to its meaning. Some of the words are more relevant to different media such as radio, internet, social media, print (newspaper and magazines), vehicles, billboards and television advertisements. Say which type of media each word and meaning relates to best. Write only the number and letter, for example, 1) d. Learners can verbally say which media each one belongs to after completing the questions.
