Strategy Name:
Questions Game (Allen)

Strategy #:
9

Brief Description (in your own words):

This strategy is used to help students acquire self-questioning strategies. Students
will read a text and write three questions about it. They would write questions
about what they want to know more about in the reading. Students write questions
on an index card and would find their partner depending on the teachers grouping.
The partners would switch cards and answer each others questions. The partners
will discuss the questions together. Then the pair would create three questions
together from their discussion of their original questions. Then they will exchange
with another pair again and each pair answers their new questions. The group of
four students will discuss their questions and answer together using the text. The
group of four will form one more question then the whole class will discuss it
together.
How you plan to use this strategy in your Practicum, Internship, Student
Teaching, or in your own classroom:
I really like this strategy but I may have to modify it to make it fit my classroom
better. I like the fact that it starts with an individual and goes all the way to a whole
class discussion. I could provide textbook readings, primary sourced articles, or
other real world related readings and have the students analyze it in this way.
