I think chapter five
was extremely relatable. I can relate to
sitting in the classroom and wondering if the teacher would call on me to
answer a question. Other times, I remember
keeping my hand raised for a while hoping the teacher would call on me to clarify
a question I needed answering. Then
there are always the questions that you do not even bother answering because
you know someone else will before you anyways.
Overall, questioning can be helpful and sometimes intimidating.
In this chapter, it focuses on the benefits of using questioning
strategies in the classroom to help make students become independent
learners. Higher order thinking
questions are essential to creating independent learners. It is necessary that teachers are prepared to
ask these types of questions to engage students in HOT and prepare them for the
real world. It is important to teach
students how to think outside the box.
Using strategies like SQ3R, questioning the author, and ReQuest are
great ways to do so in the elementary classroom. I definitely plan to incorporate HOT
questions and strategies in my future classroom to benefit my students.
What are the best ways
to promote HOT in a middle/high school classroom?
How would a teacher
assess HOT questions accurately?
