No, DavidBy: David Shannon
Write it out!
What did you learn about the main character in the story?
How did not being able to talk make you feel about completing this
task?
[Students] gain confidence as a writer because of talk. Let’s Talk, Pg.1
Trusting relationships in a writing classroom can only be built through

David Gets in Trouble
By: David Shannon
Write it out!
Take what you learned about the main character and finish this sentence.
I got in trouble when…
Types of talk…1. Teacher to Student
• Conferencing• During work time• “I like how you illustrated this… Can you tell me what this
means to you?”2. Student to Student
• Partner talks• Table talks• “We have been talking about setting… Can you talk with your
partner about what setting is, and why it is important to a story?”
3. Whole group• Carpet• “Who can tell me our main character of the story?”
4. Teacher to Teacher• Para-educator• “I like how you helped Joe with that problem… I am going to try
that way next time.”
So…
How do we create purposeful talk?
What do we do?

QUESTIONS
“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is to not stop questioning.” – Albert Einstein
Pitfalls• Asking too many closed questions
• Yes or No questions
• Short answer- recall based questions
Yay! Blooms Taxonomy!EvaluationSynthesisAnalysisApplicationComprehensionKnowledge or Recall
Assess, Compare/ contrast, judgeDesign, create, compose
Explain, infer, analysis
Demonstrate how, solve, try in a new contrast
Translate, predict, why?
Describe, identify, who when where
Where do you live as a teacher? Do you take the time to plan those synthesis or evaluating questions?
Activity time!
Three Little Pigs
Can you put these questions into categories according to Bloom’s Taxonomy?
Three Little Pigs…. How’d ya do?
1. Can you think of a different ending? (Synthesis)2. What happened in the story? (Knowledge or Recall)3. What would you have built your home from?
(Application)4. Give examples of how the third big showed cunning?
(Analysis)5. How did the wolf manage to blow down the two
homes? (Comprehension)6. Why did the three little pigs have to leave home?
(Knowledge or Recall)7. How would you defend the wolf’s action? (Evaluation)8. Which part of the story did you like best? (Analysis)
What the research shows us…
…as much as 80% of classroom questioning is based on low order, factual recall questions.
WHAT?!?!
You may be thinking…
I don’t know how to produce these questions…
Don’t worry I am going to help ya!
Tips for developing good questions…
• Create a checklist– What is the question trying to achieve?– Make decisions and judgments?– Solve problems?– What is the focus of the questions?– Create something new (in terms of their thoughts)?
• PLAN• Allow wait time• Ask open ended questions• Use questions to develop
collaborative work
“If teaching is the act of asking questions, it’s important that we think about them and plan them appropriately.” –Socrates

Top 10 Questioning Strategies
‘Just one more question…’
What if…?; Suppose we knew…?; What would change if…? Suppose we knew…?
Top 10 Questioning Strategies
Socratic questioning and Socratic circles
Q1. Get your students to clarify their thinkingQ2. Challenging students about assumptions
Q3. Evidence as a basis for argumentQ4. Viewpoints and perspectives, this challenges the students to
investigate other ways of looking at the same issueQ5. Implications and consequences, given that actions have
consequences, this is an area ripe for questioningQ6. Question the question, just when students think they have a
valid answer this is where you can tip them back into the pit

Top 10 Questioning StrategiesHinge Point Questions
What is the setting of the story?..how do you know that?
Top 10 Questioning StrategiesQuestion Continuum
-Create questions on post-it notes in pairs on any topic
-Display on a wall with a horizontal axis (interest level) and a vertical axis (complexity)
-Students could feedback their opinions, shaped by the teacher, to identify the best questions
- Questions can be arranged to find the best nine questions
Top 10 Questioning StrategiesQuestioning Monitor
-Involves students in the evaluation and reflection of the questioning process
-Select two students to be your question monitors over a certain time span.
-They track the frequency of questions: teacher and student
-Show you value evidence and the quality of questioning going on
Top 10 Questioning Strategies
The Question Wall
-Can overlap with the question continuum… advised not to do both
- It is a working space for students to communicate questions about their learning.
- By giving students post it notes and asking them to commit questions to writing typically
eliminates those questions that reflect a sense of ‘learnt helplessness’
-Fosters independence and pushes students to think more about what they are asking.
Now…
Have-a-go!
