Question 2 Read the scenario and answer the questions that follow: Ms Selepe is teaching a lesson about the solar system. She starts her lesson by taking the class outside. They stand with their eyes closed and she lets them feel the warmth of the sun on their skin while she explains to them about the sun and the solar system. Next, she models the position of the planets and their orbit around the sun with groups of learners becoming different planets. They go back into class where Ms Selepe and the class talk about and reproduce their active model visually on the board. Then the class works in groups to remember and note down the key points they remember from her outdoor explanation. Ms Selepe gives them a choice board for a project they will work on in small groups over the next few weeks to learn more about the solar system. A choice board, also known as a learning menu or a choice menu, is an instructional tool used in education to provide students with options for how they can demonstrate their understanding of a particular topic or concept.

She has one learner, Mbali, who is hearing impaired and underperforms in Social Sciences. Ms Zandi believes that Mbali can do better if given support. Three learners are new to the school. From her assessments, Ms Zandi realises that they are functioning below the grade level in Social Sciences. They have not mastered a lot of the content and skills in the Grade 2 and 3 Social Sciences curricula. They are struggling with reading and writing skills in the language of teaching and learning, which is English. Although they are working hard, they need to be closely supervised especially during group work, or they become playful and do not focus on the task at hand. Ms Zandi has four learners in her class who are highly motivated and have a special liking for, curiosity about, and interest in Social Sciences. Ms Zandi tries her best to stimulate them and provide them with a more enriching and expanded curriculum. Njabulo appears to have developmental delays and, speaking to his previous teachers, she learns that he has made progress but is below the grade level in most subjects. In addition, she has Karabo in her class, a pleasant child who tries hard when Ms Zandi works with him individually. He enjoys practical activities and working with manipulatives but is easily distracted. He has gaps in Social Sciences learning and has not mastered some of the content in the Grade 2 and 3 curricula. 4.1. What challenges does Ms Zandi face with the three new learners in her class? [3]
