Your mission

This is your story: You are with your family at an auction. There are three different items for sale. At first sight, all of them seem to be worth a fortune. However, the truth is not that simple. One of them is very inexpensive. You need to find out which items are on sale and which one is the inexpensive one to make sure you or your family members do not bid on this item. If you read the text and complete the tasks in Lesson-Up, you will obtain clues which will lead you to the correct item and provide you with a reward. 

--> Go to the next page for more instructions.

Your mission instructions

 Some of the tasks you're going to complete are done in pairs, while others on your own. For every task there is a short instruction which tells you how to work. 

  When you've completed a certain amount of the tasks in a good manner you can show me your work and collect a stamp for your map and a clue. It will say so on the Lesson-up slide. If it's busy just continue and come back later. 

  Some tasks need to be done by everyone. These are on the slides with the green colour. Sometimes you've got a choice. The yellow slides are for you if you want some extra practise. The purple slides if you'd like a challenge.

Mission 1- task 1. 

• You're all ready to start now! The first mission you're going to do is skimming through the text on page 32.  What do you notice? What do you think the text is about? And what do you already know about the subject of the text? 

• Once you've skimmed through the text, complete the tasks on the following slides. This will help you get an understanding of the subject and read the text more easily. 
• You can discuss these questions together, but please both enter your answer in the Lesson-Up. 

skimming = looking at the title, the pictures, the introduction and words in bold.

Task 2: Can you find the answer to this riddle? Use the information from the text.

I may be old, worn out, or nothing special at all,
Yet I can be worth a lot if you tell a good story.
I'm not a diamond or a painting, but my value lies in what you say,
What am I, often sold at auction with a story that stays?

Mission 1: task 3. 

Alright, so the text you're going to read is about significant objects. What do you already know about the value of an object? 

On the following slides you will see different objects. Decide how much you would pay for each object by answering the poll.

What would you pay for a pen if I would tell you this story about the pen?

Ella found an old, silver pen in her grandmother's drawer, hidden under a pile of letters. When she picked it up, she noticed it had strange symbols carved into the side. As soon as she clicked the pen, a glowing map appeared on the wall, showing the location of a hidden treasure. With the pen in hand, Ella knew her life was about to change forever.

What defines an objects worth?

You've answered all the polls and have thought about the value of each object. What defines an objects worth? Is that the price, its usefullness, perhaps the story behind it or something else? 

Share your thoughts in the wordweb on the following slide.

Mission 1: task 5. 

You've almost completed the "before reading tasks" of your mission. 

For the last task you've got a choice: 

• Watch the video on the yellow slide and answer the follow up questions if you want a better understanding of what you're going to read. 
• Are you in for a challenge? Complete the tasks on the purple slides. 

You can complete these tasks on your own. So even though you're working in pairs you can each choose a different colour if you'd like so.

What questions do you have about the significant objects project?

01:10

What is the significant objects project?

Go online. Search for an object which is significant, because of it's history. Explain which object you found and the story behind it.

You've just found an object which is significant, because of it's backstory. This is what the text is all about. What would you like to find out about the Significant Objects Project?

Mission 1 completed! 

Congratulations! You've completed the first mission.

Show me your work to see if you've passed the mission, to collect your reward and a clue. 

--> Continue with the second mission on the following slides.

Mission 2: Task 1 

Onto mission 2. For your first task you're going to read the text globally. Once you've done that answer the questions on the following slides. You can discuss these questions together, but you each need to enter your answers in the Lesson-up. 

Global reading = reading to understand the main ideas of the text.

What is the Significant objects project?

Why do you think Rob Walker and Josh Glenn used fictional stories (verzonnen verhalen) and not just descriptions of the object or of the history of the object?

Mission 2: Task 2

• Read the entire text carefully. While reading you're going to create your own "sorteertaak" in pairs. Use the instruction paper and the steps underneath to help you. 

1. On your own, create a sketch of your "sorteertaak" on paper. The first two are already given: consumer and auctions. 
2. Once finished, combine your two sketches and enter your final version in this padlet: https://padlet.com/missvn/your-sorteertaak-kacy3yn9rxogkaq7
3. Use your "sorteertaak" to answer the questions about the reading text on the following slides.

Mission 2: Task 3

• Answer the following open ended questions about the reading text. Use your "sorteertaak" and the text. First answer all the questions on the yellow slides. You can discuss these together. Then, choose to either answer the questions on the yellow slide if you would like to practise some more or the questions on the purple slides if you would like an extra challenge.

What strategies does the author of the text use in paragraph 1 to introduce the topic of the text?

How does paragraph 9 relate to paragraph 8? Why do you think the author wanted to include this example?

One of the reasons that add value to an insignificant object is combining it with a unique tale (par.3). What other three reasons from the article add value to such an insignificant object?

In what way does paragraph 11 conclude the text? How does it connect to the main idea presented at the beginning of the text?

What was the purpose of this article? Explain your answer.

Who are the people behind the Significant objects project?

Why did the author of the text mention the piggy bank (paragraph 4)? It is mentioned to show......

If you had to summarize the article by focusing on three key paragraphs, which ones would you choose and why?

How did the Significant Objects Project show the impact of storytelling on the value of the objects?

Compare the structure of this text to another informative text you have recently read or try to find a news article online. Which one is better structured, and why?

Come up with an alternative way to structure the text. Would starting with a real-life example or a famous experiment for example make the text stronger? Why?

Mission 2: Task 3

Well done! You've completed mission 2! Grab an answer sheet from my desk, check your answers and correct them in Lesson-UP if necessary. 

• Do you have any questions left? Please walk to my desk and ask for help. 
• No questions at all? Show me your work to collect a reward and your second clue. Then continue with mission 3 on the following slides.
