Event Title: Creating Questions worth Answering
Event Type: Online Discussion
Date(s): May 16-20, 2016
Location: LINCS College and Career Standards Group
Greetings LINCS Community,
A College and Career Readiness (CCR) Standards event begins next month!
Join us for a week-long discussion that explores the importance of text-dependent questions in adult education. Learn how to create them! National coaches Lori Forlizzi and Kate Crist, from OCTAE’s Implementing CCR Standards project, will be our guest hosts. Together they will share practical information about the role that text-dependent questions play in promoting CCR Key Advance 2—reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text. They will walk us through a step-by-step process that they use to create text-dependent questions, using a complex text sample. Then they will share the text-dependent questions that they created for that particular text. To close out the week Kate and Lori will provide you with an opportunity to create text-dependent questions. Working with a different text sample, try your hand at creating questions that your adult learners will find worth answering. Lori and Kate will be available, all week-long, to present information, share their expertise, assist community members and answer questions about the significance of text-dependent questions. More information will follow shortly, but please save May 16-20 for this expert-led, real-world event.
Best regards,
The LINCS Community Team
