ACTIVITY 1: GRADE 2 MANAGEMENT IN FOUNDATION PHASE CLASSROOM ACTIVITY
(MFP2601)
Read the following scenario and then answer the questions below:
There are two Grade 2 classes with 78 learners each. You have been allocated to teach them Home
Language, First Additional Language, Mathematics and Life Skills – a total of 50 periods per week. The
written work policy for the school stipulates that you must give those learners a minimum of four
exercises per week for Home Language, five for Mathematics, three for First Additional Language and
two for Life Skills. You are also expected to shoulder classroom administrative responsibilities. All
learners must have report cards for their academic performance at the end of each quarter.
1.1 Use the space provided and identify the challenges that you may encounter in managing large classes.
• It is difficult to get a satisfactory knowledge of learners’ needs.
• Intimacy with learners and remembering names might be a problem.
• The noise level is inevitably high which adds to the stress a teacher may experience.
• Organizing, planning and presenting lessons may constitute another challenge as
learners abilities might differ.
• Engaging learners actively in the learning process may not be easy in a crowded class.
1.2 Suggest ways in which you can manage those challenges so that you can meet the expectations of
the school.
, • Train learners to work in small groups of five or seven and their sitting should be in a circle so
that everyone could have a chance to participate.
• Split the class into weak learners and more able learners as it would make it possible for the
teacher to concentrate on the weaker learners.
• Establish simple rules of acceptable behavior for everybody to observe when working in
groups, in pairs or individually in order to reduce stress and noise.
• To optimize work with learners with learning difficulties, the teacher should give them seats in
front, closer to so that you can spot difficulties easily while teaching.
• Pair weaker learners with stronger ones and find active roles for learners to avoid them being
lazy.
ACTIVITY 2: GRADE 2 FACE-TO-FACE HOME LANGUAGE LESSON (HLT3701)
There are five comprehension strategies that Pressley (2006) feels young readers need to know. These are
prediction, questioning, visualizing, seeking clarification and summarizing.
Plan a lesson where you will be teaching shared reading in a Grade 2 class. Choose at least three
comprehension strategies you will be developing for learners during the lesson. Note the following:
(i) Specify in your lesson presentation how you will develop each strategy. Remember to attach the
story that you have taught to your workbook.
