Your shady neighbour’s neglected cat has given birth to a large number of kittens. You know that they are unwanted by your neighbour. You see him loading a large sack into the back of his car / digging a large hole in a vacant field across the road. What do you do?

Your friend is very excited as he and his father are going ‘trophy-hunting’ over the holidays. You strongly disapprove of this kind of ‘sport’. What do you tell him?

You are invited to go out with your friend and his family for a day’s crayfishing. You are horrified to find that most of the crayfish they take from the ocean are under-sized. How do you convince them to throw them back?

Activity 3:

To reason and tell stories

[lo 2.1, 5.2]

  • In groups, discuss how you think the leopard got his spots, the zebra his stripes and why hyenas are rather ungainly creatures.

Report back to the class on what your group decided was the most likely explanations. You can present your report back in the form of a mini play, a dialogue, an interview or in any other manner. Remember it must be fun to do and entertaining to the class. You can use props, some body paint (mud and food colouring work too)!

Ensure that each member of the group is encouraged to participate fully and divide the roles up well.

Consult the criteria below as a guideline on what to concentrate on. If you are in the fortunate position of having a video camera at your disposal, you should videotape all the wonderful skits and presentations you do at school. Memories are made of opportunities such as these. These videos can also be shown at your school’s open day. Photographs can also capture the moment and decorate your school! They can be included in the school’s annual.

Should your school not have an annual or open day, why not initiate it?

You could also appeal to your community of parents to videotape or take photographs of what you do at school.

Activity 4:

To listen for information

[lo 1.2]

  • After listening to a passage, you will have to answer questions that your educator will read out to you.
  • Now listen carefully as your educator reads you an African fable originally from Northern Nyasaland. Do you know what its present name is? The story is an explanation of the phenomena discussed in Activity 8.
