Question 1 [30 Marks]
1.1 Carefully read the questions below and answer in your own words.
1.1.1 Why is it important for learners to have access to books that represent their
cultural heritage and identity?
[2 Marks]
It is important because such books validate learners’ backgrounds, foster a strong sense of self,
and promote pride in their cultural identity. When learners see characters, traditions, and
languages that reflect their own lives, they feel seen and valued. This enhances self-esteem,
engagement, and makes learning more meaningful and inclusive.
1.1.2 How do stories in learners’ literature support the development of moral
reasoning and a learner’s sense of right and wrong?
[2 Marks]
Stories present characters in situations that involve moral choices, allowing learners to observe
the consequences of actions. Through these narratives, learners begin to understand concepts like
fairness, honesty, justice, and empathy. This helps them develop critical thinking about ethical
issues and enhances their ability to make responsible decisions.
1.1.3 What role does Africanisation play in ensuring that learners’ literature
reflects the experiences of South African learners?
[2 Marks]
Africanisation ensures that literature includes indigenous languages, local settings, cultural
practices, and real-life challenges faced by South African communities. This makes stories more
relatable and culturally authentic, fostering a deeper connection between learners and the
content, while also promoting diversity and decolonising the curriculum.
1.1.4 How do the characteristics of each genre (poetry, drama, fiction, and non-
fiction) differ from one another?
