Wat weet je over Shakespeare?

Woordwolk uitleg

Woordwolken zijn uitstekende manieren om een les mee te starten.

Je kunt de tekstballonnen zelfs verplaatsen als je ze wil groeperen tijdens een klassikale discussie. In dit voorbeeld zou je bijvoorbeeld alle titels van toneelstukken in één hoek kunnen slepen en feiten over het leven van Shakespeare in een andere.

Als iemand ‘saai’ invult, kun je dat naar de prullenbak slepen, of nog beter: er een leermoment van maken, bijvoorbeeld: ‘Waarom vind je Shakespeare saai?’

Word Cloud with Categories: explanation

This starter uses Word cloud with categories. This one is a really simple example - just take a word related to the topic or subject and get your learners to think of a word or term that relates to it.

This is a great way to introduce a new topic, reinforce learning or revisit a prior lesson.

Learners can select the category on their own device or tab.

You can add more letters easily, it's quick to make, it's low stakes, low effort but offers big rewards.

Open Vraag uitleg

Open vragen kunnen ervoor zorgen dat iedereen deelneemt aan het leerproces.

Als je instelt dat de namen van leerlingen niet worden getoond, kan elke leerling bijdragen en wordt ieders stem gehoord.

Als voorbeeld zijn hier een spinner en een timer toegevoegd. De spinner wordt automatisch gevuld en de timer is instelbaar.

Dit kan een extra gevoel van urgentie toevoegen en het belang van meedoen versterken.

Poll explanation

Polls are another very effective low stakes starter.

You can add or remove categories as you see fit.

You coulld start with a thorny issue, moral dilemma, equation, hypothetical scenario, etc.

You can easily get your class focused and prepared for the rest of the lesson.

This looks more complicated than it is!

This template is a really effective way to familiarise yourself with Drag and Drop too!

Explanation

Fill in the blanks is a really versatile way of starting a lesson.

One of those ways is to check for understanding of key terminology or definitions.

The most obvious way is to use terms that will be useful later in the lesson, but you could use it to introduce new concepts and ideas too.

This example has self-referentially used the theme of 'starters', and was created using our very own LessonUp glossary AI tool.

Read the poem and identify words and phrases for each category

Word Cloud with Categories: explanation

This starter is a great way of introducing learners to a text early in the lesson.

In this case, they will have familiarised themselves with the poem and some of the key themes before moving on to the main body of the lesson.

The learners here just have to select words and phrases that link to the categories.

You could choose to take this further in the next step of the lesson through cold calling going through the answers. For example 'why do you think "hammer" and "chain" link to industry?'
