a. How does the teacher consider learning goals when planning questions to ask?
Ms. Thomas designs her questions based on what she wants her students to learn. Therefore, she develops the questions with the end in mind. She mentioned in the video that she thinks about the concepts, ideas and themes that were presented in the documentary that need to be conveyed to the students.
b. What strategies does the teacher use to scaffold understanding?
The first strategy the teacher uses is a question that all the students can answer independently. Second strategy used by the teacher is a question that requires the students to elaborate in detail on general information. The second question builds upon the first question and the students have to be a little bit more specific. The

Then I will create a list of questions and personal connections to the particular text for which I will use to model this strategy. Some ideas I have for implementing the strategies that Ms. Thomas used in the video are ways I plan to engage my students with questioning. Instead of simply asking a question and having one or two students raise their hand to answer, I plan to have all students write down an answer to the question. This way all of my students are involved in the question and answer process or instead of having all of my students write their answer, I could simply ask the question and have my students share their response with a partner. I also plan to use Bloom's Taxonomy to create high-level questions. I am planning to differentiate questions by encouraging my students to consider new and different lookouts. For example, instead of asking, "What happened at the Boston Tea Party?" I would ask, 'If you were a British soldier, how would you have reacted when you heard the news about the Boston Tea
A student engages with the details of text in order to respond critically and personally.
Promoting and using the think aloud with texts, we force the students to use the strategies that they know. Each student uses different strategies to read and comprehend a text then we need to force to use in activities that help them to improve them.
Furthermore, in passage one of Asking the Right Questions, the conclusion made is that college students are vulnerable to obesity. The reason of this assumption is that a recent research study found evidence of obesity among college students due to lack of healthy foods and increased alcohol consumption. An important question to ask is there any omitted information? Why do they assume that all college students eat unhealthy food and drink alcohol? Who made this assumption? How many college students are obese? Are there more obese college students because there is now more college students.
PART A = Identify the educational needs of the class/training group. Use these educational needs as the basis (headings) for outlining classroom practice, including strategies, in order to accommodate the diverse learning needs of the entire class/training group. Strategies are to be of a detailed, practical and realistic nature.
I observed that the students were very concentrated on following this strategy, and show that they engaged. When the teacher asked them question, they promptly answered based on this strategies. I didn’t hear any voice or noise. They knew what to do.
Through this it will help him understand the what and why he is supposed to be learning. This way it important for Joe to be able to understand the purpose for what he is learning and how to learn it. Sometimes, students/children don’t understand why they have to learn certain things that are directed by the teacher. Therefore, the teacher needs to explain the reason behind why they need to learn the things directed by them as the teacher in order to help them get a better understanding of why it is so. In Joe’s case, he is needing an answer to why he is needed to complete the material in front of him (Osborn, 1984; Evertson & Poole, n.d., p. 13). According to the case study, “Students are in need of becoming involved through their material grasped and through this it will help them in grasping and building that of an understanding of the material given through the assignments” (Anderson, 1995; Evertson & Poole, n.d., p. 13). Now, if Joe is working with the Title 1 teacher and she is working with him one on one with the particular assignment that his classmates are working on during the same time, then the Title 1 teacher is able to help him understand and grasp the material as given by the teacher. This is a great way for Joe to ask numerous questions regarding his assignment with
Use questions to review and check understanding of what a prediction is and how we are able to make them using prior knowledge and visual clues in the text.
I Have a Question. In this strategy students ask questions just by looking at the book and answer them during reading it.
The reason why this strategy was selected is because these tools can be used in a modern educational environment to address the most common challenges. It is also helping to show educators and administrators the kinds of tools that can be utilized to improve the effectiveness of learning comprehension inside the classroom. (Roland, 2008, pp. 303 314)
The Explicit Introduction of Strategy, is one of the components that I think needed some more elaboration. The teacher should have explained what did it means to make “inferences” no them the synonym “imagine”; it would have been
Generating questions is a strategy that supports students with reading comprehension. Students learn to formulate and respond to questions while engaged in understanding the text and it improves critical thinking skills.
Clear strategy teaching is at the ultimate of good comprehension teaching. "Before" strategies inspire students' previous understanding and set a willpower for reading. "During" strategies benefits students in creating connections, monitor their understanding, create questions, and also stay motivated. "After" strategies offer students a chance to review, question, reflect, debate, and reply about text.
Findings from this study revealed the following: all three participants were aware of the needs of their students relative to reading comprehension skills, the QAR strategy addresses the reading comprehension needs of third graders, and the QAR strategy is simple to learn and implement. They also agreed that the QAR strategy is effective for teaching students how to determine the questioning type and the location for the required answers and has positively impacted their student’s ability in answering questions beyond the knowledge level.
Some of these are already seen in my class and I will try to implement some of the others later. I have already implemented independent reading strategy described in chapter 5 of this book. When I am dealing with the word problem I usually give my students “Private Reasoning Time(PRT)” of two minutes when they reading the question on their own and are ready to share their understanding with in their small group. This helps them to share and compare their comprehensive skills,
