Questioning & Investigating

(thesis/focus)
Develops compelling questions throughout the research process in an effort to influence the depth of information that will be obtained through investigation
Identifies interesting key question/s on which to focus.  Questions provide a solid foundation for inquiry
Formulates clear inquiry questions, but questions are limited, providing a framework of limited inquiry
Formulates questions that are unclear and/or easily answered and do not provide a foundation for inquiry

  • Good guiding questions are open-ended yet focus inquiry on a specific topic.
  • Guiding questions are non-judgmental, but answering them requires high-level cognitive work.
  • Good guiding questions contain emotive force and intellectual bite.
  • Guiding questions are succinct. They contain few words but demand a lot.



Practiced Shared Inquiry: What evidence have you found on the themes so far?

Contributor role: Participate in the discussion; try to implement strategies from goal setting.

Listener role: Record evidence of your CF's contributions on the rubric. Provide feedback on strengths and areas for improvement. 

Expanding your RESEARCH
  • Find ONE source to add to your thoughts about the theme of TRUTH. This source must go BEYOND the book and be addressing a question that you have. Add this to your research portfolio.
  • Mrs S. sample annotations (your thoughts/insights do NOT need to be the same as mine; your annotations should demonstrate that you are asking questions, connecting to themes and thinking beyond the text)

H/W- Add an external source to your research portfolio (instructions above); read Columbine (pgs 45-82) and add to your research portfolio.
