Types of Questions


Factual questions
Why are these questions called factual questions?
Because they usually have one answer and it’s true.

What is the difference between the two questions above?
The complication

Write 5 factual questions the topic that we are going to be studying.
1.     How do tsunamis are form?
2.     What hurricanes made of?
3.     Where is the first record tsunami?
4.     Who discovered the first volcano?
 
Interpretive questions
Why are these questions called interpretive questions?
Because they can have more than one answer and must include evidence.

What is the difference between the answers above?
Different evidence

3 interpretive questions
1.     Why do we fear volcanoes?
2.     Why does New York has their first hurricane?
3.    


Evaluative questions
3 evaluative questions
1. Did you achieve your success criteria?
2. What are you doing?
3. What is the hardest part of this learning?


My top tip for asking + answering questions are:

  • You have to know about the subject in order to answer them. 
  • Develop your questioning and answering skills. 
  • It's hard to ask and answer by not using the taboo word. 
  • It's hard to make people to say the word
  • Hard to come up with question
  • Learn new vocabulary
  • The more specific your question is, the more exact relevant your answer will be
  • You can replace some words for other than be more specific.

How do we research(note taking)?

LI: To appreciate how to research and summarize
SC:
  • To be able to research relevant information.
  • To be able to summarize a work that makes it easy to understand
  • To be able to learn how to research and summarize.
  • To be able to summarize info to make it easy to understand.
  • To be able to identify relevant info.
I think note taking is basically reading a passage/work and just jot down the relevant..stuff! I think this is important because it helps to memorize things that is simplified, not memorize the whole thing.

Team role that best fits me

I think that I am a coordinator. An example of is when doing the poster, I was making sure that everyone is my group are doing something, a bit like a shaper, but a nicer one(according to Ryan :P)

One problem is that shapers are like the opposite of coordinator. Coordinators ask for advices, while shapers just shout! I can't set my own deadlines! I need to set my own deadline-my goal!
