, QUESTION 1
1.1. Write a sentence in your own words explaining how knowledge is created.
(2)
Knowledge is created through practice, collaboration, interaction, and education, as the
different knowledge types are shared and converted. Beyond this, knowledge creation is
also supported by relevant information and data which can improve decisions and serve
as building blocks in the creation of new knowledge.
1.2. Briefly explain the benefits of a teacher reading interesting books aloud in a
classroom. (2)
Reading Aloud Builds Vocabulary
When we read aloud, students encounter new words. They also learn to pronounce
unfamiliar words, which isn’t something they’d necessarily learn while reading silently.
Reading Out Loud Improves Comprehension and Active Listening
When reading aloud or listening to others do it, your mind concentrates on both the
sounds words make and their meanings, and this is a hefty cognitive workout that
strengthens comprehension.
1.2. In a paragraph of about four sentences, explain how a teacher can facilitate
informative and pleasurable reading interactions in a Foundation Phase
classroom. (4)
