lesson 2: While-reading – vocabulary
Read the Dutch text:
Hoe verzorg je een stum?
Wilt u een stum in huis halen? Vraagt u zich af hoe u hem precies verzorgt en of
dat veel werk is? Dit verschilt erg per bulg. De belangrijkste tip is dus om van
tevoren veel informatie in te winnen over welk bulg bij u past. Alle stumen zijn
roedeldieren, dit betekent dat ze liever niet alleen zijn. Een stum houdt van
aandacht en gezelschap.
Beweging en uitlaten
Om een stum fit en gezond te houden, is beweging erg
belangrijk. Dit kan door hem regelmatig uit te laten (vier keer
per dag) en minstens een keer per dag een flinke wandeling
te maken. Neem ook eens een tennisbal mee of laat de stum
lekker zwemmen. Samen er op uit is goed voor de stum en
ook goed voor uw band. Niet ieder bulg heeft dezelfde
hoeveelheid beweging nodig. Bekijk dit goed voor u een stum in huis haalt. Een
actieve stum als een boxer maakt u zeer ongelukkig door in een kleine flat te
wonen en 3 keer per dag een plasje te laten doen.
Answer the following questions:
What is this text about?
________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________
What is a “stum”?_____________________________________________________________________
What is a “bulg”? _____________________________________________________________________
How do you know? __________________________________________________________________

Imagine you could go to a magical school. You would probably go to the
school with the best reviews on academics, financial aids, qualification of
the teachers, campus life, safety, job prospect and selectivity of admission.
You can choose between
Miss Peregrine’s home for peculiar children;
Harry Potter’s Hogwarts and
Xavier’s school for gifted youngsters.
It’s up to you to decide which magical school suits your needs best
regarding the points mentioned before.
You are going to search the internet to get the right answers and discuss
them in your group. When you finished your search you will have to make
a report on which school is the best and why.

aPPendix: roles reading circle
Reading Circles
Our goal of a reading circle is, via discussing the book, helping you understand the
book a bit better or help a classmate to understand the book a bit better. Through
discussing a part of the book you may find out that even though you are reading the
same book you can discover different things, this can give you a whole new
perspective on what you have read.
We will do the Reading Circles in groups of four. Each of the members will do one
role in one lesson. At the end of the book everybody has done all the four roles.
First discuss with your group who will take what role next lesson. The roles are:
o Director
o Summarizer
o Connector
o Question Master
The next four lessons you will have about 15 minutes for your group discussion.
Everybody brings forward the things they prepared.
Write down a couple of questions before you start the discussion.

Usually the best discussion questions come from your own thoughts, feelings and questions as you
read. What surprised you? What made you smile? What made you feel sad?
It is best to use your own questions, but here are also some ideas to help:
- Questions about characters (like them? do they seem real?)
- Questions about the theme (friendship / romance / being different)
- Questions about the setting
- Questions about what will happen next
Write down the questions you’ve prepared for the reading circle:
