About:
This is an awesome lesson to do for fun, or to prepare the learners for exams. This lesson is based on the poem, Intlakohlaza, by a well known Xhosa poet, J. R. R. Jolobe. In this lesson I also familiarized my learners with Xhosa figures of speech.Below are all the documents I used for this lesson:
Power Point
Poem with translation and worksheet
Lesson Plan
Reflection:
This lesson was by far my best isiXhosa lesson to date. I can only attribute my success to the fact that the learners must have picked up that I am passionate about the topic. This just goes to show how important it is to be excited about and love what you are teaching as it definitely makes a difference to learner's attitude.
Something I would change would be to encourage learners to read the isiXhosa sections out loud to improve their pronunciation. I also believe it may be beneficial to only supply the English translations later as I fear my learners may have relied too heavily in the English and thus not learned any isiXhosa.
