Architecture of Questions A set of 2-4 planned questions Focuses on webbing the core ideas and concepts of the Unit Elicits student-thinking about the web connections of ideas and concepts Expects active participation by all students Teachers only ask questions use student answers to ask a new question ask the 2 nd planned question when satisfied that the 1 st has been sufficiently explored.

Architecture of Questions Drawing Inferences: SWBAT infer what a songwriter’s thoughts as they listen to a song. http://www.youtube.comhttp://www.youtube.com – Bob Dillon – Times, They are a Changin. 1.

12. Group Work –Consensus in Problem Solving Students are assigned a number, 1-4. They work in individually but in groups using white boards to solve a problem: (2 options below) Citing lyrics from the song and evidence from research, what events were Bob Dillon thinking of as he wrote Times, They are a Changin? Using current events today, outline a folk song for Times, They are a Changin for today. Students discuss their problem solving in their groups and come to agreement about how to solve the problem. Teacher randomly calls a number 1 – 4 and that student presents their work on the large board. ACE - University of Notre Dame Classroom Curriculum Instruction Strategies

14. Content Literacy Instructional strategy can be thought of as a 3-step process in which students dialogue with an author about a text: Read – Dialogue with the author by noting/questioning his ideas and argument and evidence for them. Discuss – Dialogue with other readers, noting their perspectives on their dialogue with the author. Write – Complete the dialogue with the author by summarizing his position and responding with the reader’s evidence- based position.

16. Scaffolding Student Thinking Scaffolding Provides instructional support to students, particularly when they are learning new ideas. Works best when used to challenge students just beyond their current level of knowledge and ability. Though not introduced as scaffolding techniques, activating prior knowledge, using graphic organizers, discussing text, modeling procedures, pair-share, pair-write-share, and jigsaw group activities. are all forms of scaffolding.

19. Differentiated Instruction Examples of Tiered Questions Rouen Cathedral was Monet’s series in studying the same motif at different times of day to study the effects of light as it changed throughout the day. He ended up with a series of more than 30 canvases, which were later displayed and helped to cement Monet as a leader in a movement that would change art forever. Cite two examples of how Rouen Cathedral influenced the impressionistic movement. Alternate Choice: Other than Rouen Cathedral, choose another Monet’s works and analyze how he studied changes in light and/or the environment.

20. Differentiated Instruction Examples of Tiered Questions 3 rd Grade Art: Students read a story about the life of Vincent Van Gogh and looked at some examples of his artwork. They noticed that Van Gogh used lots of colors in his paintings. SWBAT use a variety of color to create an abstract image of flowers. Tier 1: Using glue and pieces of torn paper (provided in 4 colors), create an image of the flowers on the table in front of you. Tier 2: Using glue and pieces of torn paper, create an abstact picture of flowers. (still life not provided, may use additional colors of paper).

22. Tiered LA Problem The book Discovering Mars describes the history of scientists’ knowledge of the planet. Some of the knowledge has been accurate and some has been corrected by later scientists. Question 1Question 2Question 3 The book describes 3 ways in which our knowledge of Mars has been obtained. Discuss these 3 ways. If humans landed on Mars, list 5 dangers they would face and describe how they could lessen 2 of these dangers. A space station is now in orbit. Describe how a space station makes it easier to send astronauts to Mars. Classroom Curriculum Instruction Strategies
