Open-Ended+Questions

Read the article This short piece offers some specific strategies for helping students to use readings to respond to open-ended questions. For your grade level, first identify a piece of source material relevant to your discipline that is not a textbook or curriculum "reader." For middle school and above, these should be primary source materials. They can be from a popular science/math source if they were written by the people who actually did the work (e.g. Scientific American articles and columns). Next identify a big understanding from your curriculum for which this article provides evidence. Then identify a question you would ask that would lead the students to use the approach in this article. Share with the rest of us the resource and the questions as well as your thinking about how students will be able to get the most out of the resource you chose, in an open ended way.
