Questioning Strategies

The Trajectory of Inquiry

Establishing the facts

Inferring the patterns and implied meanings

Critiquing and applying what has been learned

QARsHelps students GENERATE and answer questions: students who understand how questions are written do better in answering questions

Helps students monitor their comprehension of the text

Allows students to assess their comprehension of the text

Encourages elaborative and critical thinking and moves towards CONCEPTUAL AND PROCEDURAL UNDERSTANDING

Helps refute the common misconception that the text (music, symbols) tells all

Helps students develop independence as learners by writing quality questions for leading their own discussion.

Following the inquiry pattern: starting with the data to operating on data to interpret and moving to evaluation and application

Right There

Literally Right There!

Point and find in the text

Think and Search

All the information is in the text and you have to connect the dots, seeing and explaining a pattern

Students literally search for various details and “think” about the nature of the connection between the details

Author and Me

Readers bring their own knowledge to bear on a text

Partly in the story - But you must bring your knowledge to bear

Thinking about your personal experiences and the world and adding these to textual data

“What do you think….

“If you were the main character, what would you…

“If this character were in a different setting (like China)

what do you think would happen if….

On my own

Do not require textual information from the specified reading, and applies unerstandings regarding the topic to real world issues and applications

“What makes a speech powerful?”

Literally move to an inquiry type question

Questions are evaluative and/or applicable: answers typically stake a claim about the world or potential actions that could be taken place

Testing our understanding, re: The Cay

Who was Timothy?

What was Timothy’s most significant challenge during his year with Philip?

If you had only one badge of courage to award to a character, to whom would you give it?

Who will survive? What capacities are most important to survival?

Science

Right There: promotes careful observation and considers direct evidence

Think and Search: Promotes seeing relationships among data and seeing of patterns across data sets. Promotes the making of reasonable inferences and hypotheses, and a consideration of indirect evidence to make predictions and theorize

Science

Author and Me

Promotes creating models and extending these for altered context

Personal innovation and engagement with scientific ideas

On my Own:

Promote the application of scientific concepts and processes, making connections between scientific learning and real-world issues and problems

Math qar

RT: establish facts and understand details

TS: Discern patterns and relationships in data, infer proper operations necessary to solve problem

AY: Consider how to find missing information that might be helpful…alternative operations, ways of solving problems

OMO: Real-world applications of general principles and problem solving procedures. Think like a mathematician

Sequence of QAR

Teacher models

Mentoring: Teacher and class practice answering, coding and identifying questions together

Students identify, code and answer questions together

Teacher and students create questions together

Students learn to identify, create , and answer own questions for each category TOGETHER in small groups or partners

Monitoring: Students learn to identify, create, and answer own questions for each category on their own.

Can also do this with Main Idea

First identify to key details

Then move to Summary, identifying topic, detail pattern and comment on topic (main idea/theme)
