Today is Thursday, January 5, 2012. We are really digging deep today, and it may cause some frustration. Thinking in this way in order to ask deeper/higher levels of questions is extremely challenging. So what I am saying is DO YOUR BEST AND FORGET THE REST! Please try your best to engage, focus, and think deep.
After we revisit the video from yesterday, we will be doing an activity called GROUP INQUIRY.
Video from yesterday.
1. Inclusion- Write/Pair/Share... Think of a time you did your best thinking, reasoning, recalling, comparing, contrasting, asking, talking, or studying. What about that experience made it so successful?
2. Content and Objectives:
Writing...I can conduct research to find answers to specific questions.
History...I can conduct research and effectively communicate findings.
3. Resources:
Question Sheets
Blooms and Costas Sheets
Post-it Questions
The Online Textbook
4. Your mission/task... Read the questions you generated over the last two days.
Select a question.
Determine the level.
You may need to revise questions in order to make them a 2 or a 3.
By the end of the conversations you need a level 1, 2, and 3 question.
5. Accountability: Share your questions and process with the community circle.
What's a "higher order" question?
What is the difference between a level one question and a "higher order" question?
Apply what you know about "higher order" questioning
Try to have fun and think deep.
Sincerely yours,
C
