This week: Challenging Texts
Using a more challenging source of information is a good way to add extra detail to a lesson topic through the extension task. The text might be a technical manual, an article from a journal, a primary source, a weather log, or pages from a textbook aimed at an older age group. We've probably all got university textbooks left over from our past studies - now's the time to put them to good use!
What can they do with it? Here are three examples: answer questions; use a highlighter to pick out key points/words - perhaps any specialist vocabulary used; draw a diagram or cartoon for each paragaph to summarise - this sometimes leads to some very interesting pictures.
