What do you do if you don't know a word?

Slide 9 - Open question

What if you don't know a word?
First, decide:
is the word important? Do I need to know it to understand the text?

Strategy 1:
decide what the word means by looking at the context. Is it a verb or a noun? Is it positive or negative? Does it contain parts of words you know?

Strategy 2:
if you are allowed to have a dictionary, look up the word. Watch out, this takes quite a lot of time!

Slide 10 - Slide

What is this text about? How do you know?

Slide 11 - Open question

How do you know what a text is about?
  • Look at the title. What does it tell you?
  • Look at the pictures (if there are any).
  • Are there any headers (tussenkopjes), or words in bold or italics? Those might help you!
  • Look at the questions. Do they have any information about the text?
