Scanning

 

WHAT

 

Search for specific information in a text.

WHY

 

Sometimes you need to look for details in a text. An example: check what time your favourite TV programme starts in the TV guide. Instead of reading the TV guide cover to cover, you can save time by using strategies to look up this information. You also need this strategy for your reading tests and exam.

 

HOW

 

Your teacher will provide you with a text with questions.

Alone: Download the WORKSHEET in this assignment. Read it carefully and do the assignments.

In pairs: Discuss the assignments. Do you agree? Why (not)?

In pairs: Find a text on the internet or Macmillan. Skim the text to get a general idea. Now highlight at least 3 items of specific information in the text. Think of 3 questions you could ask for this specific information.

In mixed groups: Skim eachother's texts in turn. Scan the text to answer the 3 questions. Discuss the results. Evaluate: is scanning useful? Why?
