Creative A Level Teaching - Getting them to Read!
Recommend on Google+
A way to introduce a topic, give an overview or just get them to read content to be discussed in lesson.
This actually works and students do like doing it!
Students are given two or three sides of text, or a section of a text book.
Students are split into groups of three. There is a reader, a writer and a runner.
Each group is allocated a pack of ten question cards
(different colour for different groups). The same ten questions are in each pack
The cards are kept at the front of the classroom
When the teacher says, ‘Go!’ The runner runs to get a card and takes it back to the group
The reader is busily reading the text ( although more often than not the whole group end up reading it)
When they find the answer the writer runs to the front with the written answer.
The teacher checks that the answer is correct and then the runner is allowed to take the next card.
It is best if the cards are shuffled so that they do not all have the same card at the same time.
The first group with all the cards gone is the winner.
