What, Why, How…. What are you learning? Ask this question after going over

the learning target for the lesson.

Why are you learning about this? Make a real-world connection with the students so they see how this effects their daily lives.

How can I use what I am learning? I can use this concept (math) for adding up my lunch money. (science) for seeing what I need to wear for the day

Original Revised

Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy Jigsaw Explore the your assigned level of Bloom’s

with your team Consider:

The definition Verbs for objectives Outcome/product/instructional strategies Model questions What do you think the relationship of student

engagement is to each level? Prepare a chart for our gallery walk that

represents your level of Bloom’s

Remembering: Retrieving, recognizing, and recalling relevant knowledge from long-term memory. Think: How engaging?

Understanding: Constructing meaning from oral, written, and graphic messages through interpreting, exemplifying, classifying, summarizing, inferring, comparing, and explaining. Think: How engaging?

Evaluating: Making judgments based on criteria and standards through checking and critiquing. Think: How engaging?

Creating: Putting elements together to form a coherent or functional whole; reorganizing elements into a new pattern or structure through generating, planning, or producing. Think: How engaging?

Student EngagementWhat is the power in these questions? How can these be used in the classroom to

enhance student engagement? How often should these questions be

asked? What does this do to enhance the learning in the classroom?

How can they be part of assessment? How can this add to engagement of the students?

How are thinking processes related to language functions ? Which language functions are most engaging?

A thinking process becomes a language function when we communicate our thoughts in written or spoken words.

Identify the actions in the 2nd column that are language functions – indicate which may be most engaging to students.

Developing Rigorous Questions Powerful Questions, essential questions

and smart questions are the foundation for information, engaged learning and informational literacy

Five Questions about a title Last Lines

How do the questions line up with Blooms? How can those responses be used as a

formative assessment? For differentiation? How engaging are these questions for

students?

Page 15: How does asking our students questions engage them in their learning?

Socrates on Questioning Thinking is not driven by answers, but by questions Every intellectual field is born out of a cluster of

questions to which answers are either needed or highly desirable

Questions define tasks, express problems and delineate issues. Answers signal full stop in thought

Only when an answer generates a further question does though continue its life

The quality of questions students ask determines the quality of the thinking they are doing

No questions=no understanding Superficial questions= superficial understanding

Page 16: How does asking our students questions engage them in their learning?

What Questions Matter?Why?- requires analysis of cause and effect and

the relationship between variablesHow?- the basis for problem-solving and

synthesisWhich?- requires thoughtful decision-making

Page 17: How does asking our students questions engage them in their learning?

Give examples of questions hereExamples should be “problem based” – so they can see how the question

could walk right into an action/task/project based learning activity….Does that make sense to you?

1. An essential question that encompasses the entire year

2. An essential question that encompasses one of your instructional units

3. An essential question that can be answered after a lesson

Page 18: How does asking our students questions engage them in their learning?

Essential Questions Are central to our lives, common to all and

contestable Are the heart of the search for truth Probe the deepest issues Are at the center of all the other types of questions Lend themselves to multidisciplinary investigations Answers are not readily found Engage students in real-life problem solving Need to be answered with subsidiary questions

Page 19: How does asking our students questions engage them in their learning?

What does this look like? Open ended questions Non “yes” or “no” answer possibilities Precise language Include wait time Acknowledge or all responses Response must be non-judgmental or “guess what I’m

thinking” – not looking for “pleasing the authority” Paraphrase, not praise Rephrase, not repeat Thinking aloud Think/pair/share Entices more questioning
