Activity # 3

What I learn today?

I learned:

The diferent types of questions that I can use for a complete activity using reading comprehension.

I learn that I can use the same type of questions but in different level. This is a huge change that I can make in the next activities.

How do I plan to use it in next term?

I will use all the types of question in order to make diferent activities to guide the students in new topics.

SESSION # 4

TYPES OF TASK

·         Identify the main idea.

TYPE OF QUESTIONS

·         Yes/no questions.

o    They can be answered with either yes or no.

o    Drawback: allowing the student a 50% of chance of guessing the correct answer.

o    It is recommended to follow up with other form of questions that ensure ss understood the text.

·         Open questions

o    They are the most common way to check literal understanding of the text reorganizing information on the text making personal responses and predictions.

o    Questions with how/why are often uses to help students to go beyond a literal understanding of the text.

·         True or false

o    Student have a 50% chance of guessing the correct answer

o    Teacher might simply accept a right answer falling to ask why the answer is correct.

o    Difficult to prepare: false answers must be carefully designed so as to exploit potential misunderstanding of the text.

o    False answer obviously incorrect do no help comprehension as Ss do not have to understand the text to recognize them as incorrect.

o    Hare to write because sometimes both answers are plausible regardless of the degree of comprehension of the text.

·         Multiple choice

o    They can be a wh-questions with a choice

o    Generally, but not always it has only one correct answer when dealings with literal comprehension

o    MCQ may make open questions easier to answer because they give o the Ss some possible answers. Ss might be able to check the text to see if any of the choices are specifically discusses and then make a choice

·         Labelling

o    They consist of an image with a number of textual labels.

o    Good when remembering vocabulary.

o    Hard to construct for hits.

·         Matching

o    They consist of a column of key words presented on the left a side a column of options placed on the right side

o    Reduces the effect of guessing

o    Difficult to measured learning objectives requiring more than a simple recall of information

o    Difficult to construct due to the problem of selecting a commons set of key words and options.
