English first additional language

On the farm

Educator section

Memorandum

In Grade 2 the learners will build new experiences in the additional language on those learnt in Grade 1 as well as those learnt in their Home Language. They will continue to need many listening and speaking opportunities so as to develop their reading and writing skills in Grade 2.

A wide vocabulary is very important. The ICS modules for Grade 2 provide opportunities for the revision of Grade 1 vocabulary and they gradually introduce and consolidate new vocabulary by means of poems, rhymes, stories, riddles and jokes and games to play.

Learners are encouraged to answer questions, and to take part in discussions and conversations on familiar topics.

The attention is drawn to the sounds of letters in the additional language and learners discover that some letters sound the same as in their home language whereas others differ.

Although the educator will attend to correct pronunciation at this stage, learners should always be encouraged to speak the additional language without feeling incompetent and self-conscious.

By keeping the dictionary pages at the end of each module in a file, learners can revise the vocabulary and use these lists as a personal dictionary to which they can refer when completing or writing sentences and stories.

Time scheduled for the modules 1 to 8

It is suggested that the average learners complete all eight modules during the year, completing ± two modules per term.

The slower learners will proceed at their own pace while the quick learners can be given more tasks if necessary.

All learners in Grade 2 should be exposed to all the listening, speaking and reading activities in these eight modules to ensure that progression occurs throughout.

Farmer Brown and his family are introduced and activities involve their responsibilities and the jobs they do. Names of fruits and vegetables are extended, revised and consolidated by means of interesting activities.

Reading of riddles and stories are encouraged.

A counting rhyme is included and coins are counted integrating the learning area of mathematics with that of Literacy.

The basics of economics are introduced as learners understand the farmer produces the products to sell in order to have money to buy necessities for his family.

Integration of themes

  • Social Justices

The farmer needs people to help him work on the farm – he creates job opportunities and the workers in turn have a responsibility towards their employer

  • Human Rights

Everyone has the right to earn money so as to become self-sustaining.

The farmer cares for his crops and his family and shows responsibility by handling his finances in a capable way.
