Using punctuation appropriately

To use punctuation appropriately

In order to convey a clear message, it is essential to punctuate your writing correctly. Try the following to see how expert you are.

Activity 2:
Kinds of language
[lo 6.2.6]
- Change the following conversation into INDIRECT SPEECH, in PROSE-FORM. Make sure that you tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth – the essence of repeating a conversation.

Today I saw a very strange animal. It has a l-o-n-g tongue which it whips out to eat insects and when I placed it on different plants it changed colour. Do you know what it is called? |
|
|
| Sakhela: |
|
I believe it is called a chameleon and that the changing of colours helps it to camouflage itself. It is a harmless animal and very friendly, so look after it. |

| Ithaba: |
|
Do you know that it can also swivel its eyes around? Wow, it is really an amazing creature. It is a pity that it moves so slowly because very often it is squashed by traffic. |

| Sakhela: |

Yes, if a motorist sees a chameleon – or a tortoise – they should return it to the vegetation on the side of the road. It is not fair to keep animals like these in captivity. People keep strange animals to boost their own egos and have no feelings for the animals or their needs. Of course, there are exceptions, such as taking animals away from a war-torn area or rescuing an injured animal. But as soon as an animal is healed, return it to the wild. |

Now, let us do some Designing. Colour plays such an important part in Design.
- Your group will be designing a new school uniform. Remember that the uniform must be durable, attractive, economically viable, easy to wear and wash and yet appeal to the learners who will wear it with pride. Perhaps the pupils would not like to have a uniform but a dress code?
