Independent Reading
Learners could spend time in the reading corner in the course of this cycle when they have completed their other work. Most novels and short stories contain dialogue and plays are dialogue. Encourage learners to read some play scripts and to compare them to the novels they are reading. Encourage learners to use social networking (Facebook and Mxit) as they will be reading and writing dialogue in a variety of forms. Place all the dialogues the learners write in a flip file in the reading corner. Encourage learners to read everyone else’s work.
Integration The topics dealt with in the texts deal with wisdom, kindness and generosity. These are very applicable to Life Skills and would enhance vocabulary required for this subject.
Inclusivity
Learners share their simple sentences with each other and assist with corrections and improvements. Peer assessment is an important tool. Should you have any learners with hearing problems, teaching learners sign language will help them communicate. There might be learners who find themselves in similar situations such as the character Lindi, who lives with her Gogo, who struggles to make ends meet. Deal with this topic with sensitivity and with hope that there is always a plan to be made.
Dialogue is key
When people communicate with one another, they use dialogue as a communication tool. These conversations can take place in many formats. Encourage learners to think of ways in which people talk (dialogue), e.g. verbal or written and even sign language. In the modern context, social networking (Facebook and Mxit) are an important part of our lives. We find dialogues going on in and around us. The way you talk, could also say a lot about who you are.
