Questioning – Sample Probes *That’s an interesting response…can you tell me more about that? *Why do you think that is true? *So how does that fit in/connect with what we have been talking about? *How is that idea different to some of the ones we have been exploring? *What does that remind you of? *Do you think that is always true? *What might someone say who disagreed with you? *What do you think helped you to come to that idea?

Questioning – How to start * Give students models for questioning - question words - sentence starters * Practice with interesting artifacts or pictures - starting with a visual product is easier than an oral or written piece - if the artifact does something, even better! - write down every question that is offered
Questioning – How to start (con’t) * Find the rich questions. Weed out… - questions that can be easily answered ( ‘right there’) - questions that have a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer - questions that are unanswerable (sometimes these can be reworded) *The questions that remain may be good places to start inquiries

QAR question-answer relationships *In the text questions - right there questions (facts) - think and search questions (connect details) *In my head questions - author and me questions (text to self) - on my own questions (inquiry) Wilhelm, J.D.
