3. Examples of good practice<br />

It is important to set a series of instruments for the competition:<br />

1. two small whiteboards (or black boards)<br />

2. quiz buttons<br />

3. question cards for the games 'ask them' ' I know so much' and 'the million-dollar<br />

question'.<br />

4. a series of score sheets<br />

5. a stopwatch or an egg timer.<br />

The winner team is rewarded with a trophy and a certain number of books, novels above all.<br />

It is possible to reward the other teams too, with a lower number of novels. 15<br />

3.4 An example fromTranevågen Ungdomsskule, Norway<br />

When Norwegian students start in 8th grade they have to go through “learning strategies”.<br />

“Start with a WISH” (important WORDS, ILLUSTRATIONS, SUMMARY and HEADINGS) - learn<br />

to do this before start reading.<br />

Two-column form - the students take notes when they read/go through the text and they<br />

also learn how to use Mindmaps. They decide to use one of them at a time, f.ex. through<br />

two weeks they will meet mindmaps in different subjects, next period they will repeat The<br />

WISH.<br />

They work a lot with open questions, wide tasks, also for oral exams. 16<br />
