English first additional language

Stripes and stars

Educator section

Memorandum

In Grade 3 learners continue to expand their vocabulary by listening and reading a variety of texts such as poem, stories, riddles and doing word puzzles.

These modules consolidate and revise the vocabulary and phonics introduced in Grade 2. More opportunities are given for written work producing longer texts of more varied kinds. Learners should not be afraid to make mistakes as the building of confidence and fluency should take priority above perfect written work.

Time scheduled for the modules

All learners should work through all eight modules as the phonics and spelling requirements are spread over these modules. The educator should however allow learners to complete them at their own pace namely ± two modules per term.

Learners distinguish between sh and ch sounds and spell common words correctly. The sounds “ oo ”, “ th ”, “ ea ”, “ all ”, “ y ” and “ ay ” are also introduced. They are given an opportunity to write sentences/ a story without the help of a frame and to look up the meaning of words in a dictionary.

Learners discuss the issue of the monkeys making fun of Baby Zebra who was born without stripes.

Integration of themes

Everyone is unique and their differences should be respected and not made fun of.

Title

Monkeys are always so smart and funny

as they laugh and swing in the trees

they eat berries and fruit and honey from bees

but they never stop to say, “Please”.

Crocodiles have such huge, large jaws

their teeth are so big, and sharp and strong

they float in the water down by the river

and sometimes they look like logs.

The dragonflies flit over river reeds

their beautiful wings shine so bright

they sparkle and shine like the stars above

in the light on a bright moonlight night.

G.J.M.
