QARs and 3 level Questioning: Moving fromOn, Between, to Beyond the Lines Questioning Strategies
The Trajectory of Inquiry • Establishing the facts • Inferring the patterns and implied meanings • Critiquing and applying what has been learned
QARs • Helps students GENERATE and answer questions: students who understand how questions are written do better in answering questions • Helps students monitor their comprehension of the text • Allows students to assess their comprehension of the text • Encourages elaborative and critical thinking and moves towards CONCEPTUAL AND PROCEDURAL UNDERSTANDING • Helps refute the common misconception that the text (music, symbols) tells all • Helps students develop independence as learners by writing quality questions for leading their own discussion. • Following the inquiry pattern: starting with the data to operating on data to interpret and moving to evaluation and application
Right There • Literally Right There! Point and find in the text
Think and Search • All the information is in the text and you have to connect the dots, seeing and explaining a pattern • Students literally search for various details and “think” about the nature of the connection between the details
Author and Me • Readers bring their own knowledge to bear on a text • Partly in the story - But you must bring your knowledge to bear • Thinking about your personal experiences and the world and adding these to textual data • “What do you think…. • “If you were the main character, what would you… • “If this character were in a different setting (like China) what do you think would happen if….
On my own • Do not require textual information from the specified reading, and applies unerstandings regarding the topic to real world issues and applications • “What makes a speech powerful?” • Literally move to an inquiry type question • Questions are evaluative and/or applicable: answers typically stake a claim about the world or potential actions that could be taken place
Testing our understanding, re: The Cay • Who was Timothy? • What was Timothy’s most significant challenge during his year with Philip? • If you had only one badge of courage to award to a character, to whom would you give it? • Who will survive? What capacities are most important to survival?
Science • Right There: promotes careful observation and considers direct evidence • Think and Search: Promotes seeing relationships among data and seeing of patterns across data sets. Promotes the making of reasonable inferences and hypotheses, and a consideration of indirect evidence to make predictions and theorize
Science • Author and Me • Promotes creating models and extending these for altered context • Personal innovation and engagement with scientific ideas On my Own: Promote the application of scientific concepts and processes, making connections between scientific learning and real-world issues and problems
Math qar • RT: establish facts and understand details • TS: Discern patterns and relationships in data, infer proper operations necessary to solve problem • AY: Consider how to find missing information that might be helpful…alternative operations, ways of solving problems • OMO: Real-world applications of general principles and problem solving procedures. Think like a mathematician
Sequence of QAR • Teacher models • Mentoring: Teacher and class practice answering, coding and identifying questions together • Students identify, code and answer questions together • Teacher and students create questions together • Students learn to identify, create , and answer own questions for each category TOGETHER in small groups or partners • Monitoring: Students learn to identify, create, and answer own questions for each category on their own.
Paired Partner Reading- Paul Hamm • You read 4 sections • Partner asks a right there • Partner reads 4 sections • You ask a think and search • You read 4 sections • Partner asks Author and Me • Partner Reads last sections • You ask an on my own question
Who is responsible? • Paul Hamm • Kae-Young • U.S. Coaches • Korean Coaches • FIG • Bruno Grandi • Parent: Moms • Ancient Greeks • IOC • George W. Bush • Media • Cultural emphasis on winning • USOC • SKOC • American Culture • Korean culture • Math teachers • The Judges
Paired Partner Reading • Can also do this with Main Idea • First identify to key details • Then move to Summary, identifying topic, detail pattern and comment on topic (main idea/theme)
