Music Quiz

Syfte

Att lyssna och förstå. Frågorna täcker hela elevernas livstid (en fråga/år) och eleverna tycker att det är roligt att minnas tillbaka. Det blir ofta en trevlig stund tillsammans!

Läraren reflekterar

En aktivitet som passar i början/slutet av terminen eller mellan två längre arbetsområden. Eleverna brukar uppskatta detta mycket!

Metod

Jag brukar spela lite av låten som ett intro, sedan sänka volymen och läsa frågan, och därefter höja volymen igen och spela en bit till medan de slår sina kloka huvuden ihop (de gör alltid detta i par/grupp) och skriver ner svaret.
