Questioning

We are learning to ask the correct question to get the answer we need. As a class we are using the Trevor Bond questioning method.**
 * Why Questioning?


 * We looked at effective questioning as a class,**



These are recorded below for you to listen to.**
 * We came up with some questions about this display.

So here are the extra clouds.
 * The class asked for the answers to be put up as clouds.



We have spent most of term 2 making sure we know if we are asking a question and making a statement. We have practiced stating whether it is a question or a statement that we are making. we have done over the whole school day.

Relevant and Non-relevant Questions: We also looked at relevant and non-relevant questions. A relevant question is one that is about the topic that is being discussed. A non-relevant question is not about the topic but about something else important only to the asker. Sometimes we asked how they suddenly thought of the non-relevant question. They always had a reason for it. We hope to record an example of this soon.

Closed Questions: We are looking at closed questions to help direct us to where some information might be. Closed questions will give us short to the point answers. Yes/No or a cat has a tail and four legs. We will share some more soon.

Questioning using the Seven Servants: The seven servants are who, why, what, when, where, which and how. We are going to use these term to gain more information about our environment this term.**
