Use the toolbox if you need help. Here you will find (new) words and expressions. You will also find help for grammar and pronunciation.

Have fun!

Need to know (1)

Before starting to work in this theme, check with a classmate how much you know about hobbies ans sports in English already.
To do so work through the exercises in this section. You start with the definitions of 'hobby' and 'sport', by searching them on simple Wikipedia .

Sports-Kim's game
You are going to look at a list of sports.
Together with a partner you are going to try to remember as many as you can! Which group remembers most sports in your class?

Procedure:

  1. Find a classmate to work with.
  2. Make sure you have a timer.
  3. Open the list of sports and have a look at it for exactly one minute.
  4. Together with your partner, write down as many sports as you remember from the list you studied.
  5. Swap lists with another pair. Check each other's answers (are the sports in the list? are they spelled correctly?). Who remembers most sports?

Exercise:What do you need to know?

Need to know (2)

Hobbies – Guessing game
You are going to read about hobbies!
Go to simple.wikipedia.org and read the text.
Then, take a hobby in mind.
Your partner asks you yes/no questions to find out what hobby you have in mind. Then you guess the hobby your partner has in mind.

Tip:
The more unusual the hobby you have in mind is, the more difficult it is for your classmate to guess!

To do

At the end of this theme you:

  • will have listened to people talking about sports and free time;
  • will have read texts about music, rugby, arts and crafts and the Guinness Book of Records;

We wish you pleasant reading!

Tips

Before you start reading:
Don’t start reading straight away (=meteen). First look at the title, the image and highlighted words. These can help you understand what the text is about.
Read the introduction and the questions first. They will give you a better idea of the text. With multiple-choice questions, look at the options and try to see what the differences are.

While reading:
It will be very difficult to understand everything you read. If you see a word you do not know, it is very important to ask yourself if this word is important to understand the text. If you understand the text without knowing the word,
there is no need to use a dictionary. If the word is important to understand the text (and / or to answer questions) go ahead and use your dictionary!
Just make sure you don’t use the dictionary all the time because it costs too much time.

Music

How important is music to you?
Read the following text and do the exercise below.


It's National Music Week. Lots of school pupils across the UK are taking part in different music activities.

And even if you don't play anything, do you like going to gigs?
Are you rarely without your headphones listening to your fave music act?
Or maybe you don't have a musical bone in your body?

What does the writer mean with 'Or maybe you don't have a musical bone in your body?'

Answer the questions below with positive or negative.

Tips

Before you start speaking:
First look at the instructions.
Try to think of words and expressions you might need.
Use as many expressions as possible; you can use them if you're lost for words. DON'T write out your conversation or talk completely!
If you do that, it will just be a writing and reading exercise!

While speaking:
Make sure you start a conversation by greeting the other person in a polite way. Look at your partner or at your audience.
Speak calmly and not too quietly.
You can use a note, but make sure there are only a few words on it!
If you don't know a word, you can always explain what you can use it for,
or what it looks like.
Try to keep on talking, even if you don't really know how you should say something.
If you don't understand your partner, you can ask for an explanation, or ask your partner to repeat the question.
End a conversation by saying goodbye.

Clue: if you practise a conversation a second time, it will be much easier!

Speech card

Speech card
Now you are going to have a conversation about hobbies and sports with

Interactive story (1)

Project: maak een interactief verhaal
Je gaat een interactief verhaalspel maken over de zoektocht naar een geschikte sport. In het verhaal moeten vijf keuzemomenten voorkomen.
Dat kan bijvoorbeeld zijn of je iemand gaat vragen, of een telefoonboek pakt, of dat je eerst je ouders vraagt of naar een sportzaal toegaat.
De speler moet in het spel moet in zo min mogelijk stappen proberen een geschikte sport te vinden.

Uitleg
Geen idee wat een interactief verhaal is?
Klik dan op deze link .
Je kunt dan een verhaal lezen van een jongetje dat naar de dierentuin is geweest. Hij vertelt wat hij allemaal gezien heeft.
Klik steeds op de linkjes. Waarschijnlijk staan er veel woorden in die je nog niet kent. Dat is geen ramp, want het gaat alleen maar om het voorbeeld.
Als je deze vraag kunt beantwoorden dan snap je het belangrijkste:
Met wie vergelijkt hij de dieren?

Interactive story (2)

Benodigde tijd 4 lesuren:

  • 15 min opstarten.
  • 35 min verhaallijn uitdenken.
  • 50 min verhaal schrijven en foto's, plaatjes enz. zoeken.
  • 50 min scènes en spel maken.
  • 50 minuten toetsing, evaluatie en beoordeling van de gemaakte spellen.

Uitwerking

Werkvorm
In een groep van vier leerlingen bedenk je samen het verhaal en bedenk je ook welke zinnen je kunt gebruiken.
Je bedenkt ook de regels van het spel en hoe de speler punten verdient en bijhoudt. Ieder lid van de groep is verantwoordelijk voor een bepaald onderdeel, maar iedereen moet elkaar helpen.
In principe wordt veel in tweetallen gedaan, maar vanuit verschillende verantwoordelijkheden.

Interactive story (3)

Taakverdeling
Dit zijn de hoofdtaken:

  • Voorzitter: is verantwoordelijk voor de planning, houdt afspraken bij, helpt waar nodig.
  • Schrijver: zorgt voor correcte en passende teksten.
  • Ontwerper: verzorgt foto's, plaatjes, eventueel filmpjes of geluiden (teksten kunnen ook ingesproken worden).
  • Spelmaker: zorgt voor de technische uitvoering in PowerPoint.

Het maken van het spel
Dit gebeurt in de volgende stappen:

  • Bedenk het verhaal, de keuzemomenten en de gevolgen die de keuzes hebben in het spel.
  • Werk op een groot vel papier, nog even niet op de computer.
  • Schrijf de zinnen op en maak een verhaal met verschillende verhaallijnen.
  • Verzamel er beeldmateriaal bij en eventueel geluiden.
  • Bekijk de handleiding van Powerpoint . Je moet leren om hyperlinks te maken.
  • Voeg alles samen tot één spel.
  • Laat het spel spelen door anderen.
  • Verbeter het spel op basis van de opmerkingen van andere leerlingen.

Interactive story (4)

Tips:

  • bekijk eerst het Engelstalige voorbeeld
  • overleg daarna hoe jullie verhaal er uit zal zien.

Benodigdheden:

  • een flapover of notitieblok,
  • een computer,
  • een camera (of je gebruikt foto's, tekeningen en filmpjes van internet),
  • een handleiding over PowerPoint.

Interactive story (5)

Het Storyboard
Het verhaal gaat over het zoeken naar een sport.
Hierbij kun je natuurlijk meerdere keuzes maken:

Keuze 1: welke sport?
Mogelijkheden: Golf of Basketbal
1) Golf: Als je voor golf kiest zie je dat de Golfclubs te duur zijn (foute keuze, dus stap terug)
2) Basketbal: je vraagt een vriend of je zoekt in een telefoonboek

Keuze 2:
Ten eerste, je vraagt je vriend: Hij weet geen club, dus je moet een stap terug.
Je kijkt in het telefoonboek, daarin staan twee softballclubs...
Zo maak je nog meer keuzes, tot je uiteindelijk een club gevonden hebt.
In dit voorbeeld is de volgende keuze het bellen van de ene óf de andere club.
Maar je kunt natuurlijk ook te horen krijgen dat het telefoonboek weg is, of dat de club failliet is... Hier volgt een voorbeeld van een Storyboard met verschillende mogelijkheden.

Interactive story (6)

De presentatie
Als het verhaal klaar is, moet het met behulp van PowerPoint digitaal gemaakt worden. Hiervoor gebruik je de handleiding van PowerPoint (zie pagina 3).
Als je de presentatie af hebt, sla deze dan op als een Powerpoint-voorstelling, zo'n presentatie begint direct te spelen als hij geopend wordt.
Wil je de Powerpoint liever overzetten naar een Flash-bestand, klik dan op deze link van Ispring Solutions en installeer het programma.
Wij hopen dat je veel plezier hebt beleefd aan het samen maken van het interactieve verhaal!

Evaluatie
Laten we kort even terugkijken:

Tasks

Introduction

In this part you will find some language tasks that combine the different things you learned during this theme. They combine the different skills as well.

Practise as many tasks as possible so when you are in an English speaking country you know exactly what to say!

Memory (1)

Je hebt al heel wat sporten voorbij zien komen.
Samen met een medeleerling ga je in een tweetal een memoryspel maken met deze sporten.

Stap 1 - Opdracht
Jullie kunnen een memory-spel naar keuze maken:

  • Plaatjes en de Engelse namen van jouw favoriete hobby's en sporten.
  • Engelse namen van jouw favoriete hobby's/sporten en de Nederlandse vertaling van die hobby's/sporten.

Zorg dat je voor het maken van het memory-spel minimaal acht setjes verzint!

Memory (2)

Stap 2 - Inloggen
Klik hier om naar de website van memoryspelen.nl te gaan.

  • Kies voor ONDERWIJS.
  • Kies voor Mijn spellen.
  • Log in met het e-mailadres en het wachtwoord dat je van de docent krijgt (Je docent moet eerst een e-mailadres en wachtwoord aanmaken waarmee de hele klas kan werken).
  • Kies in het blokje Mijn spellen voor een nieuw spel maken.
  • Kies memoryspel.
  • Klik op verder.

Stap 3 - Spel details
  • Geef het spel een naam: bijvoorbeeld: My favourite sports. Let op dat een andere leerling niet dezelfde naam gebruikt.
  • Geef een omschrijving van het spel, bijvoorbeeld: Engelse sporten.
  • Kies bij zichtbaarheid voor: voor iedereen zichtbaar.
  • Kies bij sectie: onderwijs.
  • Kies bij categorie: Engels.

Memory (3)

Stap 3 - Spel details (2)

  • Bij Kies een spelformaat kun je kiezen hoe groot het spel moet worden. Denk eraan dat je wel over genoeg mogelijkheden (woorden en/of plaatjes) moet beschikken om het spel te maken.
  • Kies voor 4 x 4. Dat betekent dus acht sporten en de vertaling of de plaatjes.
  • Kies voor unieke afbeeldingen. Daarna kun je met het paarsgewijs invullen van de plaatjes en de teksten beginnen.
  • Kies eerst voor klik om plaatje toe te voegen. En dan op tekst toevoegen.
  • Je kunt nu een woord of aantal woorden invullen en de tekstkleur en de achtergrondkleur bepalen.
  • Als je je tekst getypt hebt en je kleuren hebt bepaald, klik je op tekst toevoegen. Je komt dan terug in je vorige scherm en ziet je resultaat. Zo maak je alle zestien plaatjes.

Memory (4)

Stap 4 - Beoordelen en spelen
Als je alle plaatjes hebt ingevuld, moet je het spel laten goedkeuren door de beheerder van de website: digischool.
Op het opgegeven e-mail adres komt er een bericht binnen of het spel is goedgekeurd of waarom het niet is goedgekeurd (bijvoorbeeld omdat het nog niet helemaal af is).

Als je spel is goedgekeurd, vind je het terug onder http://www.digischool.nl , rechts bovenaan op het prikbord vind je memoryspellen online. Klik daarop en je krijgt een scherm te zien met allerlei categorieën spellen. Zoek je spel onder Engels.

Stap 5 - Verder spelen!
Laat als je thuis komt iedereen jullie spel spelen. Het is nu immers voor iedereen toegankelijk!!! Het spel kun je spelen op http://www.digischool.nl . Klik onder Applicaties op de button Memory.


Er kan ook per school een account van digischool aangevraagd worden, speciaal voor het maken van spellen.
