Module 2

People of sa

Peoples’s eating habits

You have now learnt something about all the provinces in our country. Our people like different kinds of food. The following are examples:

The Malay people love curry. They enjoy making curry dishes like bobotie (curried mince), curried chicken and samoosas.

The Free Staters are well known for their pap (mealie porridge), green mealies and sausage.

Capetonians like their snoek braai, serving it with sweet potato, whole-wheat bread and grape jam.

The Xhosas are very fond of crumbly (mealie-) porridge.

Compile a menu with different dishes so that there is something for all the different people. Decorate the menu with traditional patterns. It should make the people hungry for the food. (Use A4 cardboard to make your menu).

  • The people of South Africa are all different. We are also known as the Rainbow Nation . Well, a rainbow has many different colours. In the same way, we have many different groups of people in our country. Have you ever noticed how beautiful the rainbow is? When we have respect for each other’s language, culture, customs, traditions and religion, we can also become a very beautiful and special nation.
  • Now let’s talk about all the differences. You know how difficult it is to understand somebody if you don’t know his language. In South Africa we have 11 official languages. Luckily we do not have to speak all of them, but we could at least learn a few sentences!
  • See if you can understand the following:
  • Ngubani igama lakho?

(What is your name?)

  • Ngubani ifani yakho?

(What is your surname?)

  • Uhlala phi?

(Where do you live?)

  • Write the following sentence in English:

Ngubani igama lakho.

Group work :

  • Discuss what you will do if you do not understand each other’s language.
  • Dramatise what happens where one person speaks a different “language”. Discuss how you would feel if you could not understand what the other person was trying to say.
  • Discuss the problems that could develop and how you would solve them.
  • Talk to your friends at school who speak a different language.
  • See if he / she can teach you some new words.

Now answer the following questions :

  • What did the other language sound like to you?
  • Did you find it easy to learn a few new words?
Yes No
  • Now we are going to try and count in other languages.
een twee drie vier vyf
one two three four five
in ye zimbini zintathu zine zintlanu
  • Draw two friends who are chatting.
  • Work in groups: Invite someone of another culture to your class. Write an invitation to him / her on a pretty card.

Now discuss the questions you would like to ask this person. Remember: language, religion, customs, etc.

In each square draw something that we sing about in our national

explain assimilatory nitrate reduction
Esinniobiwa Reply
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
