Pick agree completely that we need to build background before asking students to create questions and dive even deeper into their studies. With that being said, I forget this step often. I just get so excited and want my students to explore the content. I need to keep your voice of reason in mind and remember it's a crucial step in helping them understand the content they're investigating. Thanks for sharing your thinking.Jamie Salturellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05553122062866867311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435602697257165304.post-83474299390162246722015-02-21T19:40:55.840-08:002015-02-21T19:40:55.840-08:00Val...after reading your post, what stood out most...Val...after reading your post, what stood out most to me were 2 points. First...the importance of front-loading and developing background knowledge while immersing in a topic. Second, the idea that with inquiry...good questioning leads to more questioning. This is something that is becoming more comfortable for me. In the past, even with my little guys, I have focused on supporting them to develop questions with the goal of then finding answers. What I am finding though is...finding answers is not necessarily the key. Rather the most important "skill" I can support is asking questions. Thanks for your insightful post.LeslieHaltinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04933517810936586988noreply@blogger.com
