Upgrade Research Questions With Depth and Complexity
Students will upgrade their bland research questions using prompts of depth and complexity and then create a sequence of questions using concepts from Bloom’s Taxonomy.
Ever ask students to create research questions? Were their ideas a bit… blah? My own students had a very hard time writing questions they didn't already know the answer to! This video is how I solved that problem: upgrade research questions with depth and complexity.
Objective
Students upgrade their bland research questions using prompts of depth and complexity and then create a sequence of questions using concepts from Bloom's Taxonomy.
Steps
- Students pick a topic and create 3 - 5 questions.
They upgrade those questions by adding in a prompt of depth and complexity.
Students develop a sequence of questions by asking a compare and contrast question plus a question that requires them to make a decision.
