Market scene activity
I collected photos of different market scenes in Zanzibar. The photos will be used by students to do an identification exercise of different things they see in the market scene. The exercise will cover fruits and vegetable/ buying and selling culture in East Africa/ Animals /mode of transport. The market scene is a social setting in East Africa and can be a great lesson for elementary learners of Swahili where the target language is taught in a cultural perspective.
*The student’s assignment will be to name different kind of fruits and vegetables.
* Do an exercise of separating vegetables from fruits.
*Grouping the vegetables and fruits in colors categories
*Create a market stall similar to the East Africa and then student’s pair up to role-play buyer and seller activity.
