Your teacher will provide you with a text with questions, such as an old exam. In pairs: divide the questions equally: one takes the even numbers and the other uneven. sixth etc. Alone: take a good look at your questions and decide what type of question it is:
Now think about which strategy would suit each question best: skimming or scanning? Write this down above the question. In pairs: discuss the strategies you've assigned to the question, do you both agree? why (not)? Alone: Now you are going to answer the questions. Use the strategy you've picked out. In groups: get together with classmates who also had (un)even numbers, like you. Discuss the answers and the strategies you've used. Evaluate:Were they helpful? Why? Write this down. |
