Essay Writing Review
Split a sample essay into paragraphs Assign each part ( Introduction, Body Paragraphs, Conclusion) a separate QR Code
Give each student a QR Code
Students have to identify what part of the essay did they get
Scavenger Hunt
• Instead of placing the clues around the class, place a QR Code that takes the students to the next task
Guided Discovery Idioms
• Give idiomatic expressions (used in sentences) to the students
• They scan the codes and match them with the correct meanings by scanning the codes posted around the class
• Students try to guess the meanings from the context
• Each idiom will have its simpler meanings linked to a QR Code
Bonus Tips
• When creating QR Codes, shorten the URL links using services like ‘bitly’ or ‘goo.le’
• When entering the URL in the QR Code generator, make sure the typing field is empty and there is no ‘http://’ already typed in.
• After generating your code, don’t forget to test it before using it in class!
