A1- Lack of flexibility; discomfort in “relinquishing control”, so to speak. #mdeschat

mrdonnelly3 Dec 8 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1: I find I struggle most to provoke Qs that lead in the direction I want. I need to be better at provoking Qs #mdeschat

A1: Questioning is the foundation of critical thinking is a learned behavior. Ss have to learn how questions trigger thinking. #mdeschat

DeniseFaidley Dec 8 @ 8:15 PM EST

A1. Ts don't feel confident to allow Ss to pose/lead discussions with their ?s; Ss lvl of thinking is revealed thru ?s. #mdeschat

missreed - Moderator Dec 8 @ 8:15 PM EST

This is a very good point! We often think about timing and meeting the outcome in a certain time. #MDESchat

A2: Any brainstorming visual is a great tool for capturing asked questions then posting for Ss to see and use as models. #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Dec 8 @ 8:27 PM EST

A3- While each has significant value, I use Bloom’s the most. Elevating the language/vocab and content-based conversation w/ Ss. #mdeschat

missreed - Moderator Dec 8 @ 8:28 PM EST

A3. I use Costa's Levels of thinking because the house graphic makes it easy for Ss to also apply and create their own questions #MDESchat

mrdonnelly3 Dec 8 @ 8:28 PM EST

A3: I tend to use these documents my Reading Specialist has given me from our county that align to the literacy standards #mdeschat

DeniseFaidley Dec 8 @ 8:29 PM EST

A3. Notice and Note signposts offer a rigorous structure. 1 TDQ is a good ease into reflective discussion and thinking #mdeschat

missreed - Moderator Dec 8 @ 8:31 PM EST

Here's a resource all about Blooms https://t.co/Gqv7PWRwZp #MDESchat

mrdonnelly3 Dec 8 @ 8:31 PM EST

It follows Bloom's, but like one under evaluate & create says "Defend a position/why do you believe ...?" #mdeschat

mrdonnelly3 Dec 8 @ 8:36 PM EST

A4 It depends on how far off topic, who else is interested, and how quickly I can help the S find the answer. #mdeschat

A4: Parking lot questions that are "off" topic, but encourage Ss to seek answers as part of their responsibility as a learner. #mdeschat

missreed - Moderator Dec 8 @ 8:38 PM EST

A4: Use a parking lot for questions. It shows you value their voice and the thought can be picked up at another time. Peer to Peer #MDESchat

mrdonnelly3 Dec 8 @ 8:38 PM EST

I need to establish a parking lot type structure in my classroom. I hate when Ss feel they can't ask Qs #mdeschat

In reply to @WalterReap

DeniseFaidley Dec 8 @ 8:39 PM EST

A4. If related, explore for short time. Encourage inquiry. If fully off topic, redirect or pose a purposeful ? Ss can discuss #MDESchat

missreed - Moderator Dec 8 @ 8:39 PM EST

Looks like we are in the same shopping center! :) Stop and get some milk and cookies for @jazzmeister2013 #ParkingLots! #MDESchat

A5- Setting the framework for reading a text- asking the Qs in advance. Get Ss to think about the text in that frame. #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Dec 8 @ 8:45 PM EST

A5- As we read through the text, can we find clues to support answers to our Qs? #mdeschat

DeniseFaidley Dec 8 @ 8:45 PM EST

missreed - Moderator Dec 8 @ 8:45 PM EST

A5: Google Draw allows for Drag and Drop tasks. Options are limitless for Math and more! #MDESchat

mrdonnelly3 Dec 8 @ 8:45 PM EST

A5 I feel that the same document I use for planning my question is designed to do just that. #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Dec 8 @ 8:45 PM EST

A5- Unpacking Qs. What do they mean? What do I need to know? How can I find out the info necessary to answer appropriately? #mdeschat

kscottburgess Dec 8 @ 8:46 PM EST

A5: Hmmm. I model creating and answering those questions for them. I then unpack my approach to answering them #metacognition #MDESChat

missreed - Moderator Dec 8 @ 8:47 PM EST

WalterReap - Moderator Dec 8 @ 8:51 PM EST

True. There are connotations and denotations of each word that could affect the understanding of questions! #MDESchat
