SWOT Analysis- Mr Sujee
S: Mr. Sujee, there were many strengths which I had identified in you in the past few months. Firstly is that you have a remarkable command of the English language which is excellent in the way you teach. Also your standard of teaching is high which is great as it makes us pupils familiar with the English language. I really appreciate it!
W: I found that for me as a grade 10 learner, the leap from grade 9 to 10 was great. To adjust to all the new rules, the different manner of teaching and the fast pace of work, although I found no real weakness as it has made me independent and improved me as a person. Someone would have had to make that change sooner or later and I am glad that it was you!
O: Mr. Sujee, in the few months that you have started teaching us, you have bestowed upon us some of the greatest opportunities. For example, the greatest opportunity I had was doing the audio assignment. It made me grow as a person and become aware of other peoples personalities and capabilities. It gave me the chance to interact with the outside world and become more involved in the media and the way it works. It was splendid and really motivating.
T:The main threat that I have faced, is the step of adjusting to a completely different world.
Also with the audio assignment, there were times when I wasn’t so sure about myself anymore and whether I could accomplish all that I have with all the trouble shooting and the problems, I though it would never end!
But when I look back, I feel that I can accomplish anything and that it just requires tough work and a lot of time!
Mr. Sujee, I really admire your enthusiasm for the English language and I highly appreciate the way you teach it as well. I think its brilliant and I hope we experience more of it in the years to come!!

Book Review
A Long Walk Home
By Naazneen Ayob
Reviewed By Zakiyyah Kolia
I’ve never been through apartheid but by reading this book, A Long Walk Home, it gave me a view of apartheid through a young boy’s eyes, Joseph Mackenzie, who lived through apartheid. He lived with his family in the township of Soweto during the old South Africa, not of what I know today.
Joseph Mackenzie tells us the story of him growing up with his mother and finding ways of supporting and protecting her. He just wants to tell people how he had to grow up in the rough times of apartheid and how it affected him.
Joseph has told a story of truth about apartheid and speaks of his experiences very clearly. Naazneen has sequenced the story in an excellent way for the reader to understand. It is also a great book in educating youngsters to understand apartheid.
As a ten year old boy living in the townships, life without his father was tough. Joseph seemed to have a low self esteem due to apartheid and this gives him a very serious character for a young man.
Apartheid was over in 1994 but the effects of it still lives on today like racism however this didn’t bring Joseph and many others down. They all overcame it in their own way and got help from those want to hear their stories.

Evaluation-Term 3
Evaluation-Term 3
Term 3 has been a great experience! I looked forward to our English lessons everyday. I really enjoyed the poetry lessons and the reciting of the poems on the microphone. I have developed as a person as well. We had also delivered our plays based on our visit to Sharpeville. I loved doing the plays as I played a ‘sangoma’ and enjoyed the experience…it was exciting. It gave me confidence- the fact that I put myself out there and did what I enjoy!!!

I enjoyed studying the poem “An abandoned bundle”. It made realise what this world is really all about and the reality of life. I now look at this world differently. I thought the manner in which Mr. Sujee taught us the poem was amazing by introducing articles on abandoned babies. The fact that we are now going to teach the poem the grade 9 learners is overwhelming. I never actually thought this is what our English lessons would be like. An inspiration!!

Evaluation of book
When I had first heard we were going to write a book for the grade 3 to 6 learners I was speechless and nervous too as I had never experienced doing this kind of work. It was difficult at the beginning to get the idea that should appeal to younger readers. The manner of writing had to be that of a lower level. Writing the book was really enjoyable and amazing. Made me feel like a little child again when I read it thereafter. A great experience!
