Your homework

- You had to highlight your answers in the text AND in your answers

- For example: check work 

- Go to text 5 question 9

What do you do if there is a word in the text you don't know?

Example of difficult word in text

‘Police auctioned Exhibit A’

--> Wat was hiervan het gevolg voor de verdachte? 

Reading strategy difficult words

STEP 1--> Important or unimportant?

Ask yourself: Is this word important to understand the text?

Step 2--> unimportant? read ahead

Step 3--> Important? ---> look at the context of the text

- What does the title mean? Is there something on the pictures that could help me?  What kind of text is it? (activate pre- knowledge) 

Example of difficult word in text

‘Police auctioned Exhibit A’

--> Wat was hiervan het gevolg voor de verdachte? 

Reading strategy difficult words

Step 4--> Important?--> have a look at the structure of the word itself

Sometimes you recognise a part of the word already --> For example: Unimportant= you know important. Or irregular, you know regular. 

Step 5-->Important? -->Read around the word--> why?

Because there might be a word that means the same. 

Or a word that is the opposite. 

Or they explain the word in the text a bit further away. 

STEP 5--> Important or unimportant?

Ask yourself: Is this word important to understand the text?

Step 2--> unimportant? read ahead

Step 3--> Important? ---> look at the context of the text

- What does the title mean? Is there something on the pictures that could help me?  What kind of text is it? (activate pre- knowledge)
