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).
