Students who know how to ask their own questions… • Take greater ownership of their learning • Deepen comprehension • Make connections and discoveries on their own Harvard Graduate School of Education 2011
Engagement through Questioning • Step 1: Teacher designs a Question Focus • Step 2: Student produce Questions • Step 3: Student strengthens Questions • Step 4: Student Prioritizes Questions 2b-3b-3c-3e
Step 1: Teacher Designs a Question Focus Engage through Discrepancy
Step 2: Student Produces Questions • Guidelines: • Write as many thoughts and questions as you can • Do not stop to discuss, judge, or answer any of the questions • Turn any statements into questions
Step 3: Student Strengthens Questions Open-Ended Closed-Ended Higher Complexity What do you think of the candidates in the class election? What does each candidate support for the spring event? Who is running for class president ? Text-Supported Response must include evidence from a source of text.
Step 3: Student Strengthens Questions Open-Ended Closed-Ended Higher Complexity Is one liquid heavier than the other? How can liquids of different densities mix? How does the molecular geometry of the liquids affect the volume of the solution? Text-Supported Response must include evidence from a source of text.
Step 4: Student Prioritizes Questions Divergent thinking to Convergent thinking
Take AWAY Students need to learnthe practice of questioning because too often they accept what they are told, without going any further.
