Questioning

__**Questioning **__

-Sticky Notes: I will have students read a book from the text set of their choice. Students are to keep a sticky note at their desk, and write down any unfamiliar words they come to. When students have finished their book and gathered their words, they will be able to find a dictionary to look up the words they wrote down. When students have an understanding for each word they wrote down, they will reread the book they chose with a new understanding.

- KWL Chart:  This questioning activity can be done in a KWL chart. Each student can get their own KWL chart and prior to reading. Students will fill in the “K” column with what they already know about tornadoes. Then students will fill in the “W” chart with what more they want to learn about tornadoes. Lastly, students will fill in the “L” chart while reading, adding what they have learned from their book.

-Quincy the Questioner  During whole group read aloud, when a student does not understand, they will mimic what our puppet, Quincy the Questioner, would do (tap their chin like they are thinking). Seeing this motion during class, the instructor will know that the student has a question that needs to be answered.
