Task description
This task also uses an image of a central scene in the podcast script. This can be one of the pictures from the "Picture Quiz" activity, or a new one. Images of elements learned in podcast story, are inserted on top of this picture. Alternatively, particular objects within the picture can be highlighted . For example, in the picture used for "Hansel und Gretel", the oven, or the old witch, can be highlighted for easier recognition. Students must first find these images and then click on them. By clicking on an image, a suitable text part from the reading theatre appears. Should a student select another image, the matching text automatically appears. Students should drag and drop the story texts into the correct order. If the students are unfamiliar with the story, they should try to sequence the parts of the story that make sense to them. In order to help students get started, key fairy tale terms, such as “Once upon a time…” and “They lived happily ever after” are used, which are meant to ward off frustration.
