I told students to write down what they learned and questions they had after they finished reading a brief biography on President Obama. I intentionally did not give them a format or organizer for writing this out in their notebooks. Cyrus spontaneously wrote down: "Q Focus: President Barack Obama"!
questions that they wrote:
Emon: Why did President Obama do all these jobs like: being a teacher, lawyer, senator.
Dequawn: Who was he vs. in 2008. And how old was he when he was a lawyer
Cyrus: Where was Michelle Obama first born? What does President Obama do in office? What is their daughter's favorite piano note?
Zion: Do Barack Obama like living in the White House? Is Barack Obama's family rich? Are there many rooms in the White House?
After we shared, I asked them to categorize their questions according to Bloom's Taxonomy.
Cyrus wanted to prioritize his question about what president obama does in office. when i asked him why he wanted to prioritize that one he said that the other ones didn't fit in (I think he meant with his qfocus)
Zion prioritized her question about Barack Obama liking living in the White House.
Dequawn prioritized the question of who he was running against?
