The Why Game This is a great strategy for getting the
students to dig deeper.
Directions: One student poses a “why” question based on
the content being learned
The second student answers the question and then asks a related why question.
The game continues until one of the students is stumped or a predetermined number of questions is reached.
(Note: Inform the students of the circular answer rule)
Sample:

Blooming Question Cube
Create a cube large enough to write on.
On each face, print key verbs from the levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy.
Students roll the cube and come up with a question/task that incorporates the verb on the face.
Students complete the question/task.Note:
This can be played as a one or two player game.
Responses can be recorded.
Minimal Preparation Version
Use a single die
Make a key for the students to use
When the student rolls a certain number, they look at the list of verbs for that number on the key

Tag-On Strategy
o This is an easy and effective strategy to implement.
o Use the questions that are provided in your teacher materials and “tag-on” and additional part.
o The tag-on should raise the level of difficulty and thinking involved.
Examples
Map and Globe Skills:What information does a map scale give? Why is this information important?
Social Studies (Immigration)Name three countries from which immigrants came to America. Why do you think these groups came?
Tag-On Strategy
Examples
Science (Plants):In what part of a plant do you find chlorophyll? Is this an important part of the plant & why?
Or
In what part of a plant do you find chlorophyll? What would happen to a plant if this part was not present?
