| WRITING The learner will be able to write different kinds of factual and imaginative texts for a wide range of purposes. |
| We know this when the learner: |
| 4.1 writes to communicate information; |
| 4.1.2 writes a description of a person, object or simple process; |
| 4.3 writes creatively: |
| 4.3.1 shows development in the ability to write stories, play scripts and dialogues; |
| 4.4 designs media texts: |
| 4.4.1 designs a poster, a simple advertisement and a simple questionnaire. |
The focus shifts now to creative writing. Learners must complete a story by giving it a humorous ending. Before they begin, read through the cartoon with the class to ensure that they understand what has happened to the poor lion. Once this is done, allow them a few minutes of silence to think about their ending and to plan it in their head. Be careful of making too many suggestions as this could stifle the creativity that you are looking for. Remind learners that you are looking for original ideas and that they will be assessed on neatness as well as the correctness of their spelling and punctuation.
