Think carefully about the types of questions that you will ask students during the lesson and record these on your lesson plan template. The following set of activities will help to improve your repertoire of effective questions. | |||

Cut out the different sections so that there are six equal sized pieces of paper, each with one section each on it - these will be referred to as the question type cards. There are a number of activities you could do to help you get to grips with the material that these pages cover and to help you develop a deeper understanding of the types of questions you can ask students and the level of demand of different types of questions: | |||
'''Activity 1''' | |||
In your groups, sort the question type cards in order of increasing demand on the student - be prepared to discuss with group members why you think one type of question is more demanding than another. | |||
'''Activity 2''' | |||
Turn the question type cards upside down and place them in a pile. Members of the group take it in turn to pick a card from the top of the pile and read one piece of information from the card from either the verb, question or example columns. Other members of the group try to guess what question type this card is. Be prepared to discuss why you think a question is a particular type. Cards can be returned to the pile at the end, shuffled and a different piece of information read out next time a card is turned over. Continue to play the game until all members of the group can spot the question types easily. | |||
'''Activity 3''' | |||
Now that everyone is familiar with the question types and hierarchy, divide out the cards and working in pairs within your group come up with two additional questions for your particular question types and write them on the cards that you have. Try out your questions on the rest of the group and see if they can classify the question type correctly. | |||
{{todo|we either need to reproduce the text of the handout here. But ideally we'd make this more interactive. Proposal is to put this somewhere else.}} | |||
These are the question types in order of increasing demand: | |||
LOW LEVEL | |||
* remembering | |||
* understanding | |||
* applying | |||
* analysing | |||
* evaluating | |||
* creating | |||
HIGH LEVEL | |||
Both '''open''' and '''closed''' questions may be at any level of the taxonomy. | |||
An '''open low-level question''' might be: "What is an example of an adverb?" | |||
An '''open high-level question''' might be: "What are some ways we might solve the energy crisis?" | |||
A '''closed low-level question''': "What are the properties of a square?" | |||
A '''closed high-level question''': "Given the data before you, would you say that mercury is a metal or a non-metal?" | |||
