It is important to set a series of instruments for the competition:
1. two small whiteboards (or black boards)
2. quiz buttons
3. question cards for the games 'ask them' ' I know so much' and 'the million-dollar
question'.
4. a series of score sheets
5. a stopwatch or an egg timer.
The winner team is rewarded with a trophy and a certain number of books, novels above all.
It is possible to reward the other teams too, with a lower number of novels. 15

“Start with a WISH” (important WORDS, ILLUSTRATIONS, SUMMARY and HEADINGS) - learn
to do this before start reading.
Two-column form - the students take notes when they read/go through the text and they
also learn how to use Mindmaps. They decide to use one of them at a time, f.ex. through
two weeks they will meet mindmaps in different subjects, next period they will repeat The
WISH.
They work a lot with open questions, wide tasks, also for oral exams. 16
