Learning Process
|
Questioning Learning
The students must own the process. It’s not the
teacher asking the question or telling.
Getting them started:
Pick a text, picture or video to have the students
look/read at about the subject we want them to learn.
After they complete to task, ask them the following:
-
What question do you want to ask about this Text,
Video, Picture?
-
What excited you, or made you sad about what we
discussed? Involve the group …Do they agree
or have other questions or thoughts?
-
What
question comes to mind as you consider this
painting/text?
-
What are the
different levels of questions like the BloomTaxonomy?
