Text #1:
Find the word

 'enema'. Put your TEAMS hand up when you find it.

1 One hot evening in Padua they carried him up onto the roof and he could look out over the top 2 of the town. There were chimney swifts in the sky. After a while it got dark and the searchlights 3 came out. The others went down and took the bottles with them. He and Luz could hear them  4 below on the balcony. Luz sat on the bed. She was cool and fresh in the hot night.

5 Luz stayed on night duty for three months. They were glad to let her. When they operated on 

6 him she prepared him for the operating table; and they had a joke about friend or enema. He  

7 went under the anaesthetic holding tight on to himself so he would not blab about anything  

8 during the silly, talky time. After he got on crutches he used to take the temperatures so Luz    9 would not have to get up from the bed. There were only a few patients, and they all knew about 10 it. They all liked Luz. As he walked back along the halls he thought of Luz in his bed.

What did you do to find the word?

When reading text #1, which strategy do think you used?

1. skimming
2. scanning

Scanning

Bij scanning 'scan' je een tekst op zoek naar specifieke informatie. Je zoekt gericht naar bepaalde woorden die je niet vindt door te skimmen.

Je kunt dit gebruiken als je opzoek bent naar een specifiek woord, getal of datum bijvoorbeeld. 

Text 2:
What is the main topic of this paragraph?

 Stand up when you know.

Most people, however, spend their money before Christmas. "Christmas shopping" is different from ordinary shopping, and people like to do it differently. They go to different shops, or different online stores, more expensive shops very often. They don't just buy food from their supermarket and clothes from big department stores. They look round, they take time (if they can), they browse and they choose.

    City shops do their best to attract them with exciting windows, and special offers.

Skimming

Bij skimming kijk je naar de titel, kopjes, afbeeldingen en andere opvallende zaken. 

Je leest het snel door om een algemeen idee van de tekst te krijgen. 

*What we did at text #2.

Find the word 'Miles' & stand up!

The two men looked towards the northern end of the property. It stretched as far as the eye could see. Even the fences were barely visible from where they stood. However bored and rebellious a teenage boy might get, it wasn't possible to escape on foot. Sam looked at the biggest of the horses, kicking at the ground with its heavy hooves. Could the boy ride? he wondered. There was a whole load of trouble a good rider could get into out here, miles away from anyone. But maybe there was even more trouble for someone who knew nothing about horses and wanted to get away from his father.
