Questioning

=**STICKY QUESTIONS **=
 * 1.** Give each student a stack of sticky notes. Have students discover the main idea of their text before reading by looking at the book slip, pictures, and title. Then, have each student (or put them in groups) write down some questions that they have about the topic on sticky notes. While reading the text, students should be looking for the answers to their questions, when they find an answer, have them place the sticky note with the corresponding question on that page. After they finish reading, have them go back and write down the answers to their questions. This is a great strategy for doing pre-writing research!

=Q.A.R.'S = Students could complete QAR's for the standard in centers.

=PROJECT LIST = Any of these projects would be wonderful activities for students to complete on any subject, and could easily be connected to my standard. For example, students could create a T.V. commercial for a new invention. However, first they would have to ask themselves, "Why would someone want to buy this?", "Why was it invented?", and "How can I portray this invention so that people will want to buy it, even if it's not really useful?"
