introduction
* Explaining: Today we will begin with our new project. To find out its main question, you must solve different tasks that you will find through QR-codes; * Dividing students into groups; * Showing how to use the QR-code app. One of the team members tries it out more thoroughly and becomes the “expert” in the group. Explaining that everyone must solve tasks and scan QR-codes.
Implementation:
* Students scan the QR-codes and solve the tasks in teams; * After every correctly solved task, the students will get a word that they have to write down; * When all the tasks have been solved and all the words have been written down, students will compile a question with the words: “Why is it warm during the summer and cold during the winter?
Conclusion:
* When students have solved the main question of the project, the teacher asks what students think their project was about. If needed, the teacher leads them to the topic SEASONS. * Students think and write down in their teams what they already know about seasons. The teacher marks the questions down on the project wall. * Students think and write down in their teams what else they would like to know about this particular topic. The teacher records the questions down on the project wall.
