Tibetan verb scavenger hunt
Students divided into two groups. Each group takes one room of the Tibetan exhibit. Each group given a list of 15 phrases from the wall text, each phrase starts with a verb. Students are to work in individually and in groups as they want. They are to match the verb phrase on the handout I have given them with the appropriate wall text. At first they work visually, trying to identify the correct verb phrase that illustrates the picture, then they check themselves by reading the wall text. Some of more obvious than others, some phrases could relate to several different texts so they have to revisit and rethink each verb phrase by re-looking at the wall text. It’s a bit like a multiple choice test, they have to think of what fits best.
