  1. Engaging Questions Created by: FISD LoTi Team

  2. How can we facilitate positive interactions with parents? • How can we ensure there are positive interactions between parents and teachers?

  3. Defining Engaging Questions

  4. Engaging Questions bring students beyond basic fact-gathering and requires them to solve a problem or make a decision. • Engaging Questions challenge students to think at the highest levels of Bloom's Taxonomy by requiring critical evaluation and reflection.

  5. Engaging Questions spark curiosity and sense of wonder. • Answers to Engaging Questions cannot be found. They must be invented. • Students must construct their own answers and make their own meaning from the information they have gathered. They create insight.

  6. Engaging Questions usually lend themselves well to multidisciplinary investigations.

  7. Good Examples

  8. Ancient American Empires • The "Ingenue", a time machine, lands in your backyard. You and your team are taken aboard and Captain Chronus gives you your choice of traveling to one of the three "Ancient American Empires" for a one-year visit. Which of the three ancient empires would you prefer visiting for a year? Be prepared to defend your choice, based on the information your team gathers about each empire.

  9. Which Spice? • You are a poor Italian trader and have heard that there is great money to be made in selling spices. You don't know much about spices but have decided to join with another trader to do some research to figure out which spice would be the most profitable to harvest and sell.

  10. 1620 Living • You and your team are a group of children living in either the Jamestown or Plymouth Colony. After investigating living conditions in both colonies, decide where you would have preferred living, in the year 1620.

  11. Oregon Wagon Trail • You are a pioneer just starting out on the Oregon Wagon Trail. You need to decide what you will take with you in order to survive the trip, and to set up a new home in the Oregon Territory. Brainstorm, with your team, what you need to find out about living conditions on the Trail. After learning about the living conditions, write a list of items you will take with you, and explain why you will need each item.

  12. Suppose the earth had no moon. • What if the South had won the Civil War? • What does this mean? • What might it mean if certain conditions and circumstances changed? • How could I take this farther?
