Dear participant,

We recently conducted some interviews around your city and your name repeatedly came up. So we are writing this letter to inform you that you have been chosen to appear in our new reality show called "Saving the Animals of the Rainforest'!

Next Saturday a limo will be picking you and a family member up at your house. You will be travelling to the wonderful Amazon rainforest as a participant in our tv show and will be staying for two weeks

Once again, congratulations!
Saving the Animals of the Rainforest Producer

  • Share your answers with the class.

Slide 11 - Tekstslide

Some possible questions:
  • How will I get around this rainforest?
  • Will I get attacked by an anaconda?
  • Where do I find these animals?
  • What do I do to save these animals once I find them?

Slide 12 - Tekstslide

Reading strategy: questions
Just like asking questions about a reality tv show to the Rainforest it is important to ask questions before, during and after reading.
There are two types of questions you can ask:
1. Text explicit questions
2. Text implicit questions

Slide 13 - Tekstslide

Explicit questions:
  • Answers that can be found in the text
Implicit questions
  • Answers that are formed from prior knowledge
  • Answers that require further investigations
  • Answers that come from your natural curiosity 

Slide 14 - Tekstslide

Asking Questions: Theory
  • Good readers ask question before, during and after reading
  • Asking questions clarifies the meaning of the text
  • We get a greater understanding of the text
  • We could look up answers that we didn't get from the text, to extend our knowledge 

Slide 15 - Tekstslide

Putting strategy into practise
  1. Choose a text from ITunesU at your level: Beginners, Intermediate, Advanced. 
  2. Write down questions pre-reading, during reading and after reading
  3. Write down the answers (or look them up, if they are not in the text)

Slide 16 - Tekstslide

Tips: 
  • Look at the title, headings, pictures, etc to think of questions you want answered
  • What background knowledge do you have and what extra information do you hope to get from the text?
  • After reading: answer all your questions with help from the text
Example questions:
  • What can I learn from reading this text?
  • What is the main point that the author is trying to make?
  • What is the tone of the article?
  • What more do I want to know about ...?

Slide 17 - Tekstslide

Evaluation:
What makes the reading strategy 'asking questions' useful?

Slide 18 - Open vraag

Homework :
  • Read two articles form either the mirror.co.uk or the guardian.co.uk and use the asking questions strategy by: 
  1. Asking questions before reading
  2. During reading
  3. After reading 
  • Start reading the book for your bookreport.
