Learning contextLearning instructionIntended learning outcomes
Level 1 Analysing a debate article Information not given by the teacher Information not given by the teacher
Level 2 A paper with pictures of images which smell differently A short work task where pupils get words dealing with smell. The pupils should also pair the right word with the right image. SAS and possibly SFI. Information not given by the teacher
Level 3 Let the dice decide! The students will let the dice decide what an image will look like. Each student will get a piece of paper with 6 squares. In each square there are six numbered alternatives. They choose environment with the dice. They google images of objects that the dice gives them. Then they draw the images on the paper, color them, and cut them out. After that, they describe their image orally or in text. Target group: SAS. They get to practice vocabulary, concord and prepositions. The more advanced students can write a story based on the twisted picture. They also practice fine motor ability by elaborating a bit. There are many suggestions of how to collaborate, practicing classroom language.
