Instructional Ideas
  • Have kids come up with questions in partners or groups
  • Assign the activity for homework, and have kids exchange their work to answer each others' questions
  • Base your novel unit (and other reading units) on the literary analysis strategies of Bloom's Taxonomy
Classroom Considerations
  • Instructions are very detailed and more complicated than they need to be; you don't need to follow the scripted format of the lesson to make the activity work
  • One section of the lesson references the skills that your learners should have, including independently questioning the text and discussing their viewpoints
Pros
  • Applicable to any text or piece of literature
  • Provides a very helpful reference page for question prompts based on Bloom's Taxonomy
Cons
