Book Project

• Get the book from the Mediatheek this week!
• Bring your copy to class next week.

What are your expectations?

Goal Scavenger Hunt

1. To make you familiar with the author and the ideas behind The Wild Robot so that you understand and perhaps appreciate the book better. 
2. In addition to this, it will also be a good way to train yourself to find good online resources. 

 What is the Wild Robot  Scavenger Hunt?

• Digital quest
• use 4 online sources
• 15 questions
• in pairs (predetermined by me ;-))
• time & correct answers: Tony Chocolonely bar for the winner!
• deadline: Friday 16 April end of class (10.40 a.m.)

what do you do when you come across an unknown word in a text?

Some tips

• look at the context (what is context ?)
• look at the different parts of the word, c.f. predetermined
• use a dictionary (online: VanDale.nl, Lexico.com)
• for slang words: urbandictionary.com
• keep a list of unknown words and their meaning(s)

How do you think you will you find the right information?

Some tips

Scan the texts:

• you do not need to read and/or understand every word;
• let your eyes move quickly across the text untill you find what you are looking for;

• use clues on the page (headlines, titles, pictures);
• see if there is an idea behind the way that the information is ordered (c.f. chronological, alphabethical, etc.);

Groups

• one online person - one classroom person
• work together in a Google Doc, answer in English
•  chat function in Docs

Get to it!

Any questions? Just ask!

Friday 16 April 2021
