False friends Syfte Undervisningen ska bidra till att eleverna utvecklar kunskaper i att söka, värdera, välja och tillägna sig innehållet från olika källor. De ska också ges förutsättningar att kunna använda olika hjälpmedel för lärande, förståelse, skapande och kommunikation. Läraren reflekterar Med en intresserad grupp, kan man på ett lekfullt men välplanerat sätt lära sig många nya ord och samtidigt göra inlärningen lustfylld och intresseväckande, eftersom det finns så många ord som liknar de svenska. Metodbeskrivning Välj ut i förväg vilka ord från listan (bifogad PDF-fil) med ”FALSE KNOWN FRIENDS” som du vill jobba med i gruppen. Gå igenom orden inför klassen och peka på likheterna i utseende och de olika betydelserna. Den ej färdiga listan, i slutet av dokumentet, är till för att eleverna ska fylla I de tomma fälten på samma sätt som i de exempel man visat innan, från den färdiga listan. Ta en gemensam genomgång efter lämplig tidsperiod. Lgr 11 Förmåga Centralt Innehåll Kunskapskrav
