In the Grade 2 Afrikaans First Additional Language lesson, the introduction aimed to engage students by connecting the lesson to their everyday experiences. The teacher began by telling a short story or showing a fun video that included various verbs in action. This sparked students' interest and prompted them to think about actions they do in their daily lives.
After the story or video, the teacher asked questions like, “What are some things you did today?” or “Can you show me an action you love?” to encourage participation. This interactive approach helped children relate to the concept of verbs and set the stage for further exploration of verbs in different contexts through games, songs, and activities. By making the lesson relatable and enjoyable, students were more motivated to learn about verbs in Afrikaans.
