fromOn, Between, to Beyond

the LinesQuestioning Strategies

The Trajectory of InquiryEstablishing the factsInferring the patterns and implied meaningsCritiquing and applying what has been learned

QARsHelps students GENERATE and answer questions: students who understand how questions are written do better in answering questionsHelps students monitor their comprehension of the textAllows students to assess their comprehension of the textEncourages elaborative and critical thinking and moves towards CONCEPTUAL AND PROCEDURAL UNDERSTANDINGHelps refute the common misconception that the text (music, symbols) tells allHelps 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 SearchAll the information is in the text and you have to connect the dots, seeing and explaining a patternStudents literally search for various details and “think” about the nature of the connection between the details

Author and MeReaders bring their own knowledge to bear on a textPartly in the story - But you must bring your knowledge to bearThinking 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 ownDo 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 questionQuestions 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?

ScienceRight There: promotes careful observation and considers direct evidenceThink 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

ScienceAuthor and Me

Promotes creating models and extending these for altered contextPersonal 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 qarRT: establish facts and understand detailsTS: Discern patterns and relationships in data, infer proper operations necessary to solve problemAY: Consider how to find missing information that might be helpful…alternative operations, ways of solving problemsOMO: Real-world applications of general principles and problem solving procedures. Think like a mathematician

Sequence of QARTeacher modelsMentoring: Teacher and class practice answering, coding and identifying questions togetherStudents identify, code and answer questions togetherTeacher and students create questions togetherStudents learn to identify, create , and answer own questions for each category TOGETHER in small groups or partnersMonitoring: Students learn to identify, create, and answer own questions for each category on their own.
