Question-Building Part 2: October 29, 2015

Today in class, you had a chance to continue working with some evidence about our "trigger event" (inciting incident) that eventually is going to lead into the Revolutionary War.  Your job is to generate inquiry - which is a fancy way of saying, you are building questions to ask about this event that will help you understand it.

In class, you looked at a number of pieces of evidence, called inputs.  You analyzed them to figure out what you can learn from them (conclusions) and what you don't know (questions raised).  Now it's time for the last two steps:

In class, we began the process of reviewing your questions.  You did the following:

• If you can answer the question, you don't need to do anything more with it.  CROSS IT OUT.
• If you THINK you can answer the question, but you aren't sure, CIRCLE it.
• If you can't answer the question, leave it alone.

Next, COPY the questions you STILL have to answer into the last column of your worksheet.  Yes, you need to write them out again.  You can combine or reword them if needed.

Finally, get a copy of the handout given for homework.  

• Read the handout.
• UNDERLINE anything in the article that helps to answer any of the questions you still have about this trigger event.  

You may need to go back and forth a few times to check your work.  Do this.
