Inquiry in Reading and Social Studies
Questioning – How to start* Give students models for questioning
- question words- sentence starters
* Practice with interesting artifacts or pictures- starting with a visual product is easier
than an oral or written piece- if the artifact does something, even
better!- write down every question that is offered
* Find the rich questions. Weed out…- questions that can be easily answered
( ‘right there’)- questions that have a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer- questions that are unanswerable
(sometimes these can be reworded)*The questions that remain may be good places to start inquiries
