Effective Questioning is an important part of evaluting students' knowledge and stimulating students to think comprehensively as well as apply their knowledge and experience to what they are reading. When reading, students should not only be understand how they are reading, but WHAT they are reading. Why is it important? Varying the types of questions posed to students is very important if teachers want students to be thorough and disciplined readers and writers.
Effective Questions:
1. How was Stellaluna separated from her mother?
2. Describe what happens when Stellaluna first meets Pip, Flitter and Flap.
3. How is Stellaluna different from the birds?
4. Have you ever felt different? How did you deal with it?
5. Write about the main message you think Stellaluna portrays.
Fantastic questions!
