Questioning

Questioning Practice

• During any lesson, students write down questions they have.  Halfway through lesson, teacher answers questions.  Questions left at the end of class can guide future lessons.
• Teacher could even use an in-class back channel such as TodaysMeet

Gallery Walk

• Teacher places a series of images around the room like an art gallery.  
• Students respond to each image with questions.  
• Teacher can use the questions for activities on types of questions, choosing appropriate resources for research, or selecting keywords for a search.  
  

Parking Lot

• During whole class reading assignments, students write down questions to place anonymously in a parking lot.  On a weekly basis, teacher responds to questions.  In addition, the questions could be used to lead discussion, identifying usable research questions, and revising limited questions into deeper questions.
• Parking lot could be in print (sticky notes on a wall chart) or electronic (using a tool like Padlet).
