1 Einführung 1) Arbeit mit den Texten Die Kinder erweitern ihre Lesetechniken, indem sie gezielt nach Informationen in den Texten suchen. Dafür betrachtet die Klasse gemeinsam die Spielvorlage des Quartetts (s. Kopiervorlagen). Je nach Leistungsstand füllen die Kinder die Tierkarten in Einzel-, Partner- oder Gruppenarbeit aus. Hierbei suchen sie in den Texten nach folgenden Informationen: Größe des Tiers, Gewicht, maximales Alter und Anzahl der Jungen / der Eier. Dabei wenden sie wie von selbst die Technik des Scanning an, d. h., der Text wird nach bestimmten Informa tionen abgesucht. L: Read the texts. Find out the following information: How big is the animal? How much does it weigh? How old can it get? How many babies does it have? / How many eggs does it lay? Dabei schreibt die Lehrkraft jeweils das passende Stichwort (size, weight, age, babies / eggs) an die Tafel. 2) Quartettkarten Die Quartettkarten werden gemischt und verteilt. Die Spieler halten die Karten in einem Stapel, sodass jeweils nur die oberste Karte zu sehen ist. Der beginnende Spieler fragt nach einer Kategorie, z. B. Alter. Ist sein Wert höher, bekommt er beide Karten und legt sie unter seinen Stapel. Ist sein Wert niedriger, so ist der nächste Spieler mit Fragen an der Reihe. Sind beide Werte gleich, wird mit den nächsten beiden Karten um den Gesamtstich gespielt. Gewinner ist der Spieler, der alle bzw. nach einer festgesetzten Zeit die meisten Karten hat. L: Play the game with a partner. Choose a category. Say the number. Your partner tells you his number. Compare. The one with the higher number gets both cards. Die Schüler versprachlichen jeweils ein selbst gewähltes Kriterium auf Englisch. S: My animal can get 5 m long. How about yours? Bevor die Kinder mit ihrem Partner spielen, demonstriert die Lehrkraft einen Durchgang gemeinsam mit einem Schüler. 3) Audio Dateien Alle Texte gibt es auch als Audio-Dateien. Sie können zur Unterstützung oder zur Schulung des Hörverständnisses verwendet werden.
