Fist things first, some information about how we are doing things today. Today you will be working alone. You will start here at the "Starting page" and work your way through to the end.

As many of you know Halloween is a holiday that takes place on the 31st of October, and it is always centered on spooky stuff.

Through movies and popular culture you might know that Halloween is a very popular holiday, especially in the United States of America. Every year childeren all across the world dress up as their favorite spooky character and they knock on people's door shouting "Trick or treat!" hoping to receive all kinds of sweets.

This is what most people know about the holiday. But where does Halloween come from? How did it come into existence? That is what we are going to cover today. We will also cover new reading strategies that will help you understand texts even better.

Now watch this video before moving on.

Text One

Introduction

Now you are going to read a text about Halloween and answer the questions.

What I want you to do is fist go to the skimming tab and answer the questions in that tab only by skimming the text. Then move on to the Scanning tab and answer the quesions in that tab by only scanning the text. Last but not least, move on to the Intensive Reading tab and answer the questions in that tab by intensively reading the text.

By doing this exercise I want to show you that the effort that is necessary for answering certain questions depend solely on what kind of question it is. If you completely read a text for a question where skimming the text would have sufficed, you are just wasting time and effort on your part.

Good luck :)
