Title: Questioning Styles and Strategies


1
Questioning Styles and Strategies
  • Donjea Revo
  • Kendra Pate

2
Your Questioning Style
  • Write down three questions youve asked lately
    within a unit.
  • How long do you typically wait for students to
    answer a question before you try asking it
    another way or simply give the answer?
  • Why do you think teachers dont have longer
    wait times?

3
The Four Styles of Learners and Types of
QuestionsMastery
  • Mastery Learners remember key content and
    skills (90 of questions fall into this level 1
    of DOK we need to try to reduce this to 50)
  • These questions have students summarize, recall
    facts, describe processes, provide examples, etc.
  • To answer these questions, students simply
    regurgitate what theyve learned. There is no
    new thinking.
  • Continue to use these questions, but not quite
    as many. Try some of the other types.

4
Understanding
  • Understanding Learners think about concepts,
    big ideas, and generalizations
  • These questions have students compare and
    contrast, prove and disprove, agree and disagree,
    discuss the cause and effects, infer, group and
    label, etc.
  • Students take what theyve learned and explain
    how concepts are related.

5
Interpersonal
  • Interpersonal Learners make personal
    connections to the content
  • These questions have students reflect on how
    they feel about _________s decision or on their
    task performance, ask them to put themselves in
    the same position as someone else, to react to
    events, etc.
  • Students put themselves into the topic.

6
Self-Expressive
  • Self-Expressive Learners focus on students
    creativity
  • These questions use similes and metaphors, ask
    what if and to make predictions, associate one
    topic with another, ask students to imagine if
    something happened or had ended differently, etc.

7
A Reflective Approach to Your Style of Questioning
  • Take another look at your three questions. What
    types of questions do you ask?
  • What are the advantages of using all 4 types of
    questions?
  • Why dont more teachers ask questions of
    different styles?

8
Questioning Tool 1Carousel Brainstorming
  • Develop 5-6 questions that fall into the 4
    learning style areas. Post them around the room
    on large sheets of paper.
  • Students are divided into groups and given 2-3
    minutes at each station to respond. Give each
    group a different color marker to write their
    responses.
  • Students will rotate between the stations and
    either add new ideas or comment on what the
    previous groups have written.
  • The teacher asks students to summarize the
    responses on the paper.

9
Questioning Tool 2Graffiti
  • Develop 16-20 questions that fall into the 4
    learning styles. Post them around the room on
    large paper.
  • Have students get into small groups. Have them
    respond to the questions on post-its. Allow them
    about 20-25 minutes.
  • Have students post their post-it notes on the
    paper.
  • The teacher asks students to summarize the
    responses.
  • This is a perfect review activity before a test
    and for getting students out of their seats!

10
Questioning Tool 3Four Thought
  • After reading an assignment, give students the
    four thought organizer and have them make some
    pre-reading associations.
  • The organizer is divided into 4 categories and
    asks students to describe the topic (mastery),
    analyze it (understanding), apply a solution
    (self expressive), and react personally
    (interpersonal).
  • Have students share their responses within
    groups.
  • This organizer can be turned into an essay on
    the topic.

11
Questioning Tool 4Comprehension Menus
  • Develop at least 4 questions about the topic,
    one in each learning style. These are divided
    into a 4-box organizer, much like the four
    thought tool.
  • Students respond to the questions and share
    out.
  • This tool is great for assessing reading
    comprehension.

12
Assignments
  • Have someone observe a lesson (a student, a
    colleague, etc.) and to write down 10 questions
    that you ask. See into what categories your
    questions fall.
  • Try one of these tools carousel brainstorming,
    graffiti, four thought, or comprehension menu.
