Arbetsprocess och lektionstid

These following weeks you are going to work with reading and improving your comprehension (förståelse) when you read different texts. 

* You choose the way of working that you feel fits you the best. The main thing is that you challenge yourself with some harder texts, and work with questions and summaries afterwards so you work with your comprehension. 

* You can choose 2 different types of texts if you like. 

- For Thursdays you will have words as homework. These words you pick yourself, and write them down when you read. Choose 10-30 words. E-mail them to me after the lesson on Thursdays the week before, and then you will have a week to study them. 

- Why we have to improve our vocabulary (ordförråd) = The more words you know the easier the comprehension of different texts will be!

Teachers tips;
To be able to write your answers, you must think about what you just read. This analysing part makes you improve (förbättra) your understanding. 

A piece of advice; don't focus/get stuck, on the words you don't know. Try to understand the overall meaning!

* Hand in;

1: You hand in your words each week.

2: You also hand in your questions and summaries when the reading period is over in week 49

Some examples of how you can work with reading

• Read on the Ipad; 
• The app TRVL. Read about different countries, cities, people of the world. Write a summary afterwards. 
• thelocal.se. Swedish news articles in English. Write a summary afterwards. 
• The app Huffington Post. Read interesting news articles. 
• mangavolume.com. read manga. read 10 slides and write a summary.
• iBooks. Read classic novels like Robinson Crusoe, search the library. Write a summary.
• Download a fairytale or a comic from app store. Read it and write a summary afterwards. (grimm fairytales for example)

• Texts with questions;
• http://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/skills/reading-skills-practice. choose level A1,A2,B1,B2.  Read/do the preparation. Then do check your understanding/knowledge. Take a picture of your answers. Paste to a pagesdocument. 

• Books; 
• Read an ordinary book. after each chapter or 5-10 pages, write a summary. 
• Read an adjusted (anpassad) book, level 1-6, answer questions in the back of the book, before, while and after reading. also write a summary when you´re done. 
• Choose the same adjusted book as a friend. Read a chapter and then discuss it orally (muntligt) with your friend. Answer the questions together.
