Activity 2: Do a listening comprehension activity 1 hour Explain to learners that a listening comprehension is a text that is read out to them and that there is no written text at all for learners. Read the text twice then ask learners to read the questions, then reread the text before allowing learners to answer the questions. Encourage learners to take notes while you are reading the text. Read the following radio advert to learners. Hi, my name is Thoko. I am a taxi driver. I have been driving people from the rural areas in northern Johannesburg to the city centre and back again every day for the last 10 years. My taxi has never broken down, and I look after it very well. I always have petrol in my taxi and you are assured of getting to your destination on time and safely. Please call me on 097 456 8724 if you need a chauffeur, and I will make sure you arrive at your destination safe and sound.

READING AND VIEWING
Activity 3: Read a cartoon 30 minutes
A cartoon is a visual text that is created for enjoyment and entertainment. We enjoy cartoons because they make us laugh and show us the funnier side of situations. When you look at a cartoon, you need to look at what and how things are said or drawn that make you laugh. You need to be able to identify and discuss the purpose and message of the cartoon using the following techniques: Skimming and scanning You need to skim and scan the cartoon by quickly looking at what has been drawn and reading what has been written. For example, are there speech bubbles or is the text only within the cartoon? Careful and accurate skimming and scanning will help you make inferences about the meaning, the characters and the setting of the cartoon, will show you how punctuation and font have been used and will indicate the body language/interaction between the characters in the cartoon. Intensive reading This kind of reading will help you to identify the purpose and message of the cartoon. Every cartoon is written for a particular reason and has a particular message for its viewers. Making inferences To make inferences means to make assumptions based on facts. The facts in a cartoon are the words, the images and the way things are set out in the cartoon that will help you make assumptions on the message, meaning and purpose.
Ask learners to turn to Activity 3. Read and view the cartoon with learners.

Encourage a discussion around the cartoon. Ask learners if they think the cartoon is humorous, or if they don’t see the humour in it. Discuss what makes the cartoon humorous (its humour is in the sign content – most of the population in the village work in the city during the week, making the village a ghost town during the week).
Activity 4: Answer questions on a cartoon 1 hour Ask learners to turn to Activity 4, and instruct them to complete the activity on their own.
Activity 4: Memorandum 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.
Shacks/squatters, a man walking down the street/a dog/a signpost. Yes, there is a signpost with words on it. The text is set in a signpost. The word population is written in large font, the other words are in smaller font. Noun He seems like a loner who is unemployed as he is walking the streets in the middle of the day. It is a poor area. That the area has many people that work in the city during the week, but travel home at the weekends. The cartoon is humorous because it shows that the community is mostly populated on the weekends. During the week, the population count decreases because people are working in other areas or are travelling to school. His shoulders are slumped and he looks tired and dejected. He is seemingly unemployed. There is an assumption that people living in the rural areas depend heavily on the city for employment. Learner’s own as it is based on their own assumptions.
Activity 5: Read a short story 1 hour A short story is a story that is generally between three and five pages long but can be shorter. Short stories usually deal with a few characters and concentrate on the mood rather than the plot. They also generally focus on one incident; have a single plot, a single setting, and a small number of characters all over a short period of time. Ask learners to turn to Activity 5. Encourage learners to read the short story at least twice before answering the questions.

Vuzi’s experience of the big city ‘Wow’, said Vuzi as she looked at sky high buildings. ‘I have never seen anything like this before. This is spectacular!’ Vuzi couldn’t help but look skywards as she studied the tall stately buildings in wonder and amazement, thinking of how her life had changed and dreaming of how it may never be the same again. Vuzi was 16 years old when she entered the South African Idols singing competition. The only reason she entered was because a) her friends wouldn’t stop saying how great her voice was, and b) the auditions were to be held in the big city! And oh she had dreamed of seeing the big city ever since her parents bought a TV just four years ago. Having a TV completely changed Vuzi’s perception of her world. Vuzi was born in a very small community, populated only by 2 698 people. There was only one market owned by the same family for generations. Everybody had the same kind of house, with the same number of rooms, and the toilets were communal. There were stray dogs that roamed the area. But this was her home, and she loved it. She loved the hustle and bustle of the corner coffee shop where she waitressed. She loved being part of a community where she knew everybody’s name. So having a TV changed her perception of the ‘outside’ world. It was the TV that gave her a passion and desire to leave her community and see the Big City On the morning of the auditions, Vuzi was so excited she couldn’t control herself! Her friends were just as excited and there was much giggling and shrieking. When Vuzi caught the taxi into the big city, she couldn’t help but think about what she had seen on TV. After a few hours, Vuzi arrived in the Big City, and was completely amazed by the sounds, the sights and people she saw. After a few minutes of walking around, Vuzi realised that she needed to ask someone for directions. But nobody would stop for her. She tried signalling for a taxi, but didn’t know the correct signs. Falling onto the pavement in despair, Vuzi burst out crying. Then she heard someone calling: “R10 for a ride to the Idols venue”. This was it, she thought. She stood in the queue for the taxi and dipped her hand into her handbag searching for her wallet, but couldn’t find it. She knew she had packed it. And just as she realised that she had left her wallet in the other taxi, the taxi driver, fled off leaving Vuzi crying and desperate in the middle of the big city she once couldn’t wait to admire.
Read through the following words with learners: mood – somebody’s state of mind amazement – a strong feeling of wonder perception - using the senses to acquire information signalling – a gesture to communicate something Discuss their meanings in relation to the story. For example: Vuzi had a strong feeling of wonder when she saw the city.

Ask learners to turn to Activity 6 and complete the activity on their own.
Activity 6: Memorandum 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
a) It is written in large font and is bold. b) The title tells me that the story is about a girl, named Vuzi who has an experience in the big city. The story is written in paragraphs with an introduction, a middle and an end. Vuzi, Vuzi’s friends, taxi driver. The story is about a girl who travels to a big city to audition for a singing competition. Once she is there, she is unable to audition as she left her wallet on the taxi and so couldn’t get to the auditions. She comes from a rural area. I know this because she says she lives in a community small enough to know everybody’s name. The area is poor. I know this because Vuzi says ‘the toilets are communal’ suggesting no one has his own toilet. In Vuzi’s imagination, the city was a wonderful, friendly place. In reality it was not everything she thought it would be as no one in the city was willing to help her when she needed them. Vuzi’s perception of the city is a naïve and ignorant one. She thinks the city will be similar to the community she has come from, but in reality it is not. she, her Learner’s own answer. For example: small beautiful/long narrow. Make sure learners have written two describing words. Learner’s own answer.

WRITING AND PRESENTING
Activity 7: Create your own advert 2 hours When creating your advert, consider the following features: 1. Correct format. This includes the length of your advert, making sure you consider where the advert will be seen – a magazine, newspaper, billboard or brochure. 2. Purpose. Consider the target market, who the advertisement is intended for, and why you are advertising. 3. Text features. Consider the sense your advertisement is appealing to (in other words which of the five senses is the advert targeting?), the layout and font size and the effectiveness of the choice of colour or lack thereof, and the register – the tone of your advert.

LANGUAGE STRUCTURES AND CONVENTIONS
Activity 8: Sentence structure 1 hour There is a lot involved in sentence structure: there are phrases, clauses, subject-verb agreement and simple, complex and compound sentences. Throughout this year you will learn more about all of them in more detail. For the purpose of this lesson, we will focus on sentence structure in an advert. Adverts use simple, short, sentences. These types of sentences are catchy and the reader or listener is more likely to remember them and the advert. If longer, more complex sentences are used, the advert would become boring and would lose the interest of the reader or listener. Explain the different types of sentences to the learners. Explain that adverts use short sentences as they are used to prove a point quickly. © Impaq

. A long sentence. No, because it is too long and scrunched. It makes it difficult to read. Learner’s own answer, but must be a short sentence. For example: Save the dolphin. It is shorter, and to the point. Animal, ocean, dolphin Save Very good, impressive Poor a) Learner’s own answer. b) Learner’s own answer.
Activity 9: Concord 30 minutes The concord in grammar means ‘agreement’. • • •
The subject and the verb in a sentence must agree in number and in person. This means that if the subject is singular then the verb must also be singular. If the subject is plural then the verb must be plural.
It is important to note that you must look at singular and plural to determine concord. For example: What I want is five adverts in this book.
X
What I (singular) want are five adverts in this book.
X
