Read the scenario below, answer the questions that follow. You are a Grade 5 English Home Language teacher at a South African public school. Your class consists of learners from diverse linguistic backgrounds. While English is the Home Language of instruction, many learners also speak one or more African languages at home. Some learners are confident writers, while others require additional scaffolding to organise their ideas and apply language structures and conventions accurately. As part of a literacy unit on personal narratives, learners will write a paragraph titled "A Day I Will Never Forget." Your aim is to guide learners through the complete writing process while providing appropriate support at each stage. Throughout the lesson sequence, you also want to strengthen learners' understanding and application of language structures and conventions, particularly tenses and punctuation, within meaningful writing activities. Downloaded by Edge Tutor () lOMoARcPSD| 2.1 Design a lesson activity that scaffolds learners through each stage of the writing process. 2.1.1 For each writing process stage, describe a concrete classroom activity that you would implement. In your description, you must explicitly integrate the teaching of the language structures and conventions (Tenses and Punctuation) into each writing stage. Note: 2 marks will be awarded for the activity, and 2 marks for the explanation of which language structure or convention is incorporated and how in each stage. Focus on one structure or convention per writing stage; the two suggested structures and conventions can be repeated across stages. • Pre-writing/planning (4) • Drafting (4) • Revising (4) • Editing/proofreading (4) • Publishing/presenting (4)
