Task description
The task is used at the beginning when the children are not yet familiar with the story. Students need to guess the title of the story by depicting a central scene of the story hidden behind square fields. The assignment aims to arouse the curiosity of fellow students and motivate them to work together on the podcast project. The visual representation of important story elements also enhances the students' understanding of the subsequent scene reading. Hidden images taken from the central story scenes are on the backside of the puzzle pieces. The student is asked to guess the title of the story. To do this, he/she must gradually uncover the puzzle pieces. After each move, the student is allowed to guess which story it is by clicking on a multiple choice selection of possible titles. If the student is still unable to recognise the story, he/she continues by uncovering another puzzle piece. The fewer fields the child needs to uncover in order to guess the story, the more points the group will get.
