SUCCESS CRITERIA 1. You have asked three open-ended questions that require deep thinking
Open-ended questions can not be answered with a Yes/No answer
The answer to these questions cannot be found directly in the book and require a reader's opinion
2. You are able to share your own thoughts about what the answers to your questions might be when you reply to the members of your group and their thoughts
Post your questions on TEAMS in your book channel as three (3) separate messages. This will make it easier for others to reply to your questions. They will know exactly what question they are answering!
Do not post your answers right away! Let other students share their ideas first and only then provide your own answers.
3. You can explain where you found the clues for answers that you are giving.
4. You are involved in the discussion, not just asking questions. A discussion is when a dialog is happening between the people in a group, rather than just one person asking questions and other people giving the answers.
GOING BEYOND 1. Create a variety of questions using different question starters. 2. Put extra detail into your questions. 3. Give strong examples and extra detail to support your thinking.
