LO: To ask and answer effective questions
Last night a monster’s footprint appeared in the school! But where did it come from?
In today’s hook lesson, the children needed to create speculation about a mysterious monster’s footprint that appeared in the school overnight. To start, the whole class discussed who they thought the footprint belonged to; where the creature came from and why it has visited the school.
The children were then introduced to Bloom’s Taxonomy for questioning and this was used to model creating questions. After this, the children created their own effective questions using the matrix. In a group, the children then created their own questions and role played constructing suitable answers.
