As a staff we clarified how we are using the question starters, buzz words.
Used as a tool to develop fat questions.
Using the first storey we asked..."What is global warming?" DEFINE and then developed into.
"What are the most important factors causing global warming?" COMPARE
"Evaluate the use of recycling in school on a Worldwide scale?" JUSTIFY/EVALUATE
When developing questions ask the children, "What does your/our question require you/us to do to get the answer".
A lot of discussion around the other 'tools' we have in the 'box'. Is there any point of adding another tool (Andersons Revised). Because Andersons and Forgartys have similar sentence stems. Are there major differences? We think not.
As a staff we were quite split on what we wanted...Jan made us vote! Nic sat on the fence!
We have decided on Fogarty's, Activities from Blooms, De Bonos thinking hats, graphic organiser , kiplings 7 servants (Who, what, where, when, which,why,how) and thinking maps.
Decision made.....WE THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
