HOT(S) or Not!

We are constantly working towards higher order thinking skills in ELA class. We're lucky because most of what we create in class, in response to our readings, in the creation of our narratives, in our inferences are already skills and tasks that operate under higher order thinking. It's built into our curriculum!

But one of the most important skills you can learn is questioning. I use a lot of these types of questions when I am creating my lessons and I will ask you to start thinking about creating them in class as well.

Here are some question stems for you to use in class, especially when we Create, Analyze, and Evaluate!
