The reasons behind their questions often bowl me over with their sincerity, the fact that really want to know the answers because it's important to them, or they feel it would be important for others to know (Tommy and Vianey). How do I do their earnestness justice? How do I respect their questions? It's tough because finding answers isn't always easy. Not many of the kids found answers to the questions in one of the few kid-friendly, informational readings on the dust bowl I was able to find online. Maybe check the library? Use reflection journals? A class composition or book with our most important questions and answers?
Several students mentioned also that they asked a question because it seemed like in order to understand the dust bowl, they had to understand this question (Donnell)
Also, their research turned out a lot stronger than I had felt it was as we were doing the activity. Despite the limitations of our source material (a PBS documentary and a short reading on the Dust Bowl), I was very impressed with how they were able to make accurate inferences even with incomplete information. Out of 17 responses:
3 students found direct (and correct) answers from the video/text
6 students used helpful details from the text to make correct inferences to answer their question
3 students made correct inferences to answer their question without citing helpful details from the text
3 students made incorrect inferences to answer their question
3 students were unable to answer their question at all
