Pd. Guidelines for Question levels

In reading Romeo and Juliet we have had to ask and answer many questions. How can we be sure of the quality of questions we are asking? Use this guide to analyze the level of questions we have been asking. You will also use the guide to help you create the question to be added to your study guide. LEVEL ONE: Recall and Reproduction This type of question helps you remember something you have already been told. Questions at this level require that students list, describe, and identify. Answers to these questions appear in the form of a fact, definition, or term. They are typically simple questions. Examples: o Identify where Act III, scene I takes place? o Describe Juliets soliloquy.

Good? Bad? LEVEL TWO: Skills and Concepts These questions require some original thinking beyond just remembering Answers require a few logical steps o Questions at this level require that students compare, explain, classify, and describe Examples: o Compare the two motivators behind s response to . o Juliet and her father both could be seen as passionate characters. Compare their passion. o Explain how Romeo and Juliets relationship could not have been possible, had it not been for their shared characteristic of passion.

LEVEL THREE: Strategic Thinking Answers require complexity, abstract thinking and a deeper understanding. Questions at this level require that students develop, propose, explain and connect ideas using support, and create. Examples: o Connect the Friars initial expectations for Romeo and Juliets marriage to Capulets potential for countenance. Suggest what Capulets reaction would have been, had he known at this point about the marriage.
