PREFACE PRESCRIBED BOOKS All texts needed to facilitate this year are either in the facilitator’s guide or in the study guide. However, additional reading in the learner’s free time is very beneficial. Here is a short list of age-appropriate books: • The BFG by Roald Dahl • Molly Moon series by Georgia Byng • The White Giraffe by Lauren St John • The Sleeping Sword by Michael Morpurgo • The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate • Midnight for Charlie Bone by Jenny Nimmo • Holes by Louis Sachar
INTRODUCTION The study guide and facilitator’s guide have been organised into four units and 18 lessons. Each lesson is taught over a period of two weeks. • • • • •
Unit 1 has 5 themed lessons. Unit 2 has 4 themed lessons. Unit 3 has 5 themed lessons. Unit 4 has 4 themed lessons. At the end of Unit 2 and 4 the learner will write examinations.
(Please see Assessment Requirements for further details about the examinations and assessments.) There is a skills table at the beginning of each lesson. Each lesson consists of four sections: • Listening and Speaking • Reading and Viewing • Writing and Presenting • Language Structures and Conventions Note that many of the Language Structures and Conventions skills are combined with other sections, and are therefore not stated explicitly. Each of these sections are made up of activities. Each activity is labelled and has a time reference. (See Timetable and Time Management for further details about the lesson and activity times.) There are remedial and extension activities at the end of each lesson. These can be completed if there is a need for them and available time. These can also be used as examination preparation.

TIMETABLE AND TIME MANAGEMENT Grade 7 English Additional Language follows the following times for each section per twoweek lesson: • Listening and Speaking: 2 hours • Reading and Viewing: 3 hours • Writing and Presenting: 2 hours • Language Structures and Conventions: 1 hour Each activity in this book has been apportioned to meet these times. It is suggested that in your personal timetabling, you account for 8 English lessons per week; 16 English lessons per two-week lesson. Therefore, EACH WEEK your timetable should include: • 2 x 30 minute Listening and Speaking Activities • 1 x 30 minute Reading and Viewing Activity • 1 x 1 hour Reading and Viewing Activity • 1 x 1 hour Writing and Presenting Activity • 1 x 30 minutes Language Structures and Conventions Activity Note that many of the Language Structures and Conventions skills are combined with other sections, and are therefore not stated explicitly.
GENERAL It is recommended that you start each lesson with a discussion on the theme. Initiate the discussion using the illustration on the opening page of each lesson. If you have only one learner, engage with the learner as a partner where paired or group activities are stipulated. 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.

ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS Each unit contains activities that form part of the formal assessment. Refer to the portfolio book for these activities. The rubrics needed for these assessments are in the addendum at the back of the book. There are ten formal assessment tasks which are School-Based Assessments (SBA). These take place during the year. They include: • 4 oral assessments • 2 writing tasks • 3 tests • 1 examination (June) These SBA form 40% of the total mark for the year. The November examination forms the other 60% of the year mark. The marks of the oral paper (Paper 1) comes from oral activities done during the year. Each examination consists of three papers: • Paper 1 is an oral examination. This includes reading; and listening and speaking. (Activities done during the year which will be stipulated in the paper.) • Paper 2 is a written examination. This includes reading comprehension, language in context and response to literature. • Paper 3 is a written examination. This includes writing an essay and a transactional text.

SECTION 1:
LISTENING AND SPEAKING
Activity 1: Introduce yourself and others 30 minutes
Tell the learners that they will be working with themes throughout the year. Each theme will cover a two-week period. Explain that the theme for the first lesson is “Cultural stories from South Africa”. Explain to learners that when you first meet someone, it is polite to introduce yourself so that they know who you are and can refer to you by name when speaking to you. Go through the features and conventions of introducing yourself and others in the study guide. Ask learners to role play the introductions. Go through the important things to know about introducing yourself. Explain to learners that some introductions are formal while others are informal. Introducing yourself An example of a very formal introduction could be: “How do you do? My name is Thandi Gumedi.” (How do you do is not really a question, but is a way of saying hello in a very formal way.) An example of a formal introduction could be: “Good morning/afternoon/evening, my name is Thandi Gumede. I’m pleased to meet you.” An example of an informal introduction could be: “Hello, my name is Thandi.” A very informal greeting could be: “Hi, I’m Thandi.”
Introducing others An example of a very formal introduction could be: “Mrs Gumbi, may I introduce Sibeko, my friend from school.” An example of a formal introduction could be: “Mrs Gumbi, I’d like you to meet Sibeko, my friend from school.” An example of an informal introduction could be: “Gogo, meet Sibeko, he is my friend from school. This is my gran.” An example of a very informal greeting could be: “Gogo, this is Sibeko.”

Ask learners to introduce themselves to other learners or to you by saying “hello” or “good morning” in their own language and then in English. They should then give theIr name and surname. Encourage them to say one sentence about themselves. It could be something about their family or what they enjoy most. For example: “Dumelang/Goeiemôre/Hello, my name is …” Revise simple present tense with learners. Language structures and conventions: Sentences Simple present tense We always introduce ourselves in the simple present tense. The simple present tense tells us what is happening right now. Ask learners to give three more sentences in the present tense. Ask learners to introduce themselves using all four styles of introduction as shown (very formal, formal, informal, very informal). Guide and encourage learners to complete the introductions properly.
Activity 2: Listen to a short story 30 minutes 1.
Read and discuss the listening process with learners in detail. Tell learners they should follow this process whenever they are completing a listening activity.
Listening is divided into three separate elements: Pre-listening: This is how we get ready to listen to a story. To do this we: • Look at titles and illustrations to get an idea of what the text is about. • Listen to background information given to you by the facilitator. • Read pre-listening questions which will help you listen for these ideas in the story. • Have a pencil and paper ready for jotting down notes. During listening: This is what we do while the story is being read. We: • Try to get a “mind picture” of the story that is being read. • Listen to the message or main idea of the story. • Listen to dialogue and details in the story that give us additional information. • Try to work out the meaning of new vocabulary from the text. • Jot down notes or questions. Post-listening: This is what we do after we have heard the story. We: • Ask questions about anything we do not understand. • Discuss and find the meaning for new vocabulary. • Answer questions.

Discuss the story. Make a summary of the story. Analyse and evaluate what we have heard. Evaluate what we have heard. We do this by making judgements on what we have heard and by giving our opinion (with reasons) about what we have heard.
2.
Talk about the information on cultural stories in the study guide. Ask learners if they can think of folktales they have heard in the past. Discuss how a story is made up of a main idea and supporting ideas. Ask learners to listen for the main and supporting ideas in the story you are about to read.
3.
A story has a main idea and supporting ideas. A main idea tells you the main reason why the story was written or told or what the story is mainly about. Supporting ideas make the main idea clearer. They support and expand the main idea of the story. 4.
5.
Read the title of the story “Moonlight Magic” and ask learners what they think the story may be about. Give the learners a few minutes to discuss these ideas. Tell learners that Gcina Mhlope, who wrote the story, is a well-known South African author and storyteller. Read the folktale twice to the learners. Ask them to try and visualise the story as you read. Encourage learners to make notes on the main point in the story as you read it a second time.
Moonlight Magic by Gcina Mhlope Nolitha’s husband, a great warrior, was killed in battle. Nolitha missed him so much. And they did not have a single child. How she longed for a baby. One night Nolitha walked to the river where the waterfall was the loudest. And the moon was so full and bright it washed the land in its silvery glow. She looked up at the moon and opened her mouth to sing – a song that was like a prayer. I humble myself before you Asking for a baby. Hemh! Hemh! The people who heard the beautiful sound were not sure if it were a part of a sweet dream. But it was such a lovely sound that it stayed with them all day. The next night Nolitha was having a beautiful dream when she was awoken by a very distinct sound – the sound of a baby crying. No, it could not be! She threw off her blanket and went to open the door.

Yes, it was a baby! Unbelievable. “Whose baby could it be?” she wondered. The baby was sitting inside a huge dug-out pumpkin as if it had grown in the garden. Nolitha looked at the little face and the big, round eyes looked right up at her. The baby smiled and made gurgling noises. Nolitha took the baby inside and closed the door behind her. She washed him and gave him some creamy milk porridge with honey. Nolitha was the happiest she had ever been in her life. For weeks she stayed inside and kept the baby a secret. After some time Nolitha decided it was all right to tell people about her new baby. When the children noticed her open door they ran to greet her. “Sawubona, mama Nolitha! We have not seen you for a long time.” “Please can I hold him? I promise I will not drop him.” “What is his name?” “His name is Njabulo. I named him that because he has brought me so much joy,” she said. The villagers came to her house to see her baby and she realised how wonderful it would be to share her baby with others. Nolitha’s world was complete. She knew it would be her greatest pleasure to raise her little boy, Njabulo, in a village filled with so many caring people. And the other children would be like his brothers and sisters 6.
When you have finished reading, ask the learners what they think the main idea and the supporting ideas of the story are. Main idea: The main idea is to convey that anything is possible and that miracles can happen. Nolitha loses her husband and longs to have a baby of her own. Supporting ideas: Nolitha goes and sings and prays for a baby one full moon night. When a baby appears on her doorstep one day, Nolitha hides him in case he actually belongs to someone else. Later she realises it is alright to show him to the rest of the village. Nolitha realises how good it will be to raise him in a loving community.
Talk about the simple past tense with the learners. Read extracts from the story showing how it is written in the simple past tense. Simple past tense The simple past tense tells us that an action happened in the past. To change a verb to the simple past add -ed to the verb or change the verb form, e.g., visit – visited. (However, there are exceptions where -ed is not added, e.g. sing – sang.) The children visited Nolitha. Nolitha sang for her baby. Encourage learners to give additional sentence in the simple past tense. 7.
Encourage learners to share their own ideas and experiences that are similar to the story where something wonderful has happened.
