1. make it specific and measurable in some way 2. Include reference to the intervention you intend to use in the lesson(s) 3. Include a refence to the topic/class/purpose/goal.
Here's an example: I wanted to see if I could help my students write more informative paragraphs to show what they know about a topic. So, I gathered some examples of paragraphs others have written on the topic as my resource. My intervention centred on facilitating students doing a close analysis of the paragraphs by putting them into small groups with one paragraph each, and a set of targeted questions to answer about the text. To make it easy, the paragraph was in a big font, centred on a large piece of paper (A3) so there was lots of white space around it for adding notes to as they answered the questions and interrogated the paragraph. Each group then demonstrated to the rest of the class what they had found out, using their own notes as a guide. After each group shared, we collated synthesised a list of things common to most of the texts. The idea was to see if they could create their knowledge about finding information linking to a topic sentence (ie statement/assertion/big idea), explanations (details about the big idea- definitions of terms, elaborated information to say more about the idea) and proof (examples, references to others' work/citation, anecdotes, evidence from research...).

This was a precursor to students writing their own parapgraphs about the current topic in class for formal assessment. A short student voice survey asked them to provide feedback on whether they thought learning more about text type and format helped them know what to write themselves. This is using their perspectives to understand what the learning process was like.

So: my Teaching as Inquiry question would look something like: If models of formal paragraphs are provided to students for interrogation, will their resulting knowledge about format and contents help them improve their own formal writing?
