QUESTION 1: Teaching Environmental Conservation Text



1.1 Introducing the Text (Pre-, While-, and Post-Reading)



This is about creating a multi-faceted approach to engage learners before, during,
and after reading the text.



* **Pre-Reading (Activating Prior Knowledge & Building Anticipation):**

* **Brainstorming:** Start with a class brainstorm about what they already know
about environmental conservation. Ask questions like: "What does 'environment'
mean to you?", "What are some problems facing our environment?", "What does it
mean to conserve something?" Write their ideas on the board (or a large sheet of
paper). This taps into their existing knowledge and creates a foundation. Translate
key words into their mother tongue.

* **Visual Aids:** Show pictures or short video clips related to environmental
conservation (e.g., pollution, recycling, nature scenes in South Africa). This is
especially helpful for visual learners and those who might not have direct experience
with the concepts.

* **Vocabulary Preview:** Pre-teach key vocabulary words from the text. Don't
just give definitions. Use pictures, realia (if possible), or act out the meaning. For
example, for "pollution," you could show a picture of polluted water or air. Have
learners repeat the words after you and use them in simple sentences.
