Where Are We Headed Today? Revisiting & reevaluating QUESTIONING from viewpoint of Danielson & Common Core • Using the Danielson Framework • Domain 3b • Rubric • Common Core Literacy • Text Structure • Webb Levels • Target-Method Match • Text Based Questioning
The Wisdom of Practice If you were to walk into a classroom, what might you see or hear there (from the students as well as the teacher) that would cause you to think that you were in the presence of an expert? What would make you think: “Oh, this is good; if I had a child this age, this is the class I would hope for.” The Framework for Teaching Charlotte Danielson
Text-Based Questioning & Common Core • Does it fit?
RH9-10 RST9-10
4 Anchor Standards of Literacy • Key Ideas & Details • Craft & Structure • Integration of Knowledge & Ideas • Range & Complexity
What is the game plan? Begin With The TEXT.
ELA/Literacy Shift 1: Balancing Informational and Literary Text
Informational Text • Textbooks • News articles • Speeches • Legal documents • Sheet music (lyrics) • Blogs • Scientific reports • BOTH primary & secondary sources • Visual Text • Photos • Paintings (other art) • Quantitative Text • Charts & graphs
3-2-1 Visual Literacy Activity • Examine the picture or item • On an index card or sticky note (or in a journal) • List 3 things you observe • List 2 things you caninfer • List 1 thing you want to explore further or know more about • Conduct a group “share” • How does this fit with content rich informational text? With using evidence to support statements?
Text Structures • What format is used in the text? • Compare/contrast • Cause/effect • Problem/solution • Describing • Sequencing http://www.adlit.org/article/39554/
Text-Based Questioning • Things to consider . . . • Content rich text • Appropriate complexity • Text structure • Alignment to Common Core standards • Purpose • Rigor / DOK • Using academic language • Level of question
Student Performances for Text-Based Questions • Analyze paragraphs on a sentence by sentence basis and sentences on a word by word basis to determine the role played by individual paragraphs, sentences, phrases, or words • Investigate how meaning can be altered by changing key words and why an author may have chosen one word over another • Probe each argument in persuasive text, each idea in informational text, each key detail in literary text, and observe how these build to a whole • Examine how shifts in the direction of an argument or explanation are achieved and the impact of those shifts • Question why authors choose to begin and end when they do • Note and assess patterns of writing and what they achieve • Consider what the text leaves uncertain or unstated
DOK & Common Core • What is the DOK level of thinking for the tasks assigned to students to meet these standards?
Target-Method Match • Is the question type a good match for the Depth of Knowledge required?
Multiple Sources: Identifying Similarities/Differences • The “Core” to all learning (Robert Marzano, 2001) • Highly Robust • engaging students in the learning process • Leads to deeper student understanding • Restructure understanding of content • Make new connections with things they already know • Clear up misunderstandings
Your Turn . . . • Select standards (1 reading & 1 writing) • Determine purpose for your text choice and for your questions • Write at least 5 text based questions • Maximum of 2 questions at Webb Level 1 • At least 1 question at Webb Level 3 or above
