  2. Bell Ringer 12/5/13Activity: Questions for Learning Did you know…you can increase your academic success by 40% just by becoming better at asking questions. WOW! • Give an example of a question that does not ask for a lot of information. • Now, give an example of a question that asks the answerer to provide a very thorough answer/explanation.

  3. Daily Agenda 12/5/13 Last Class • Start Predator Prey Ecosystem Game Design Today • Open and Closed Questioning • Fairy Tale Game • ½ Period to finish presenting your games to the other groups.

  4. Open and Closed QuestionsLearning is done by asking questions. An engaged learner uses two different kinds of questions, each with an appropriate purpose. • Closed Questions • Closed-ended questions require specific answers, such as "Yes," "No," or "I was ten years old.“ • Closed-ended questions are useful for extracting particular information. If the learner is confused about when something happened, a closed-ended question gets the answer quickly. • Open Questions • Open-ended questions call for non-specific answers; they often invite the teller to tell more information or explain further. • Open-ended questions, conversely, start/expand the flow of information. As a result, they are more useful to the learner who is supposed to elicit more information. Young interviewers, especially, tend to need instruction in the art of the open-ended question.

  5. Examples • Here are some examples of closed-ended questions: • "Did you like school?" • "What was your sister's name?" • "How old were you when you got your first job?" • These, on the other hand, are open-ended questions: • "What were some things you liked about school?" • "What sorts of games did you and your sister play together?" • "What was it like for you to stop school and go to work?"

  6. The Fairy Tale Game This is a guessing game. I will pretend to be a character from a fairy tale. Your job will be to guess who I am. You can ask me questions about my life, and I'll answer them. But there are two special kinds of questions in this game.One special kind of question is the "yes/no" or “short phrase” question. These questions can be answered with just one word or a very short phrase, "yes," "no“ or “a little bit.” Every time you ask me one of these questions, I get a point on the blackboard. If I get five points, I win the game. Another kind of question is the "follow-up" question. A follow-up question asks about something I just said. Every time someone asks a follow-up question, you get a point on the board. Every time you get three points, you can make one guess about who I am. In addition, the student groups gets a penalty point every time some one shouts out answers without being called on first. If ten penalty points are scored, that also results in my winning the game.
